Close. I don't work for an airline, but my dad flew for UA for 30+ years and my mom has been an FA with them for 40+ years. So I grew up in the industry - from the time I was 17 to 25 or so I spent many summers wandering around the system on Non-Rev tickets.

Now I bounce between Dubai and Prague and mostly end up on EK, DL, CX and G9 (Air Arabia). I like Air Arabia quite a lot - super clean, the pre-departure prayer audio quality and tone is great and they go everywhere for not much cash.... a huge change from how the Gulf used to be.
