Fly dubai, strictly follows the rules as laid down in the immigration system , Emirates on the other hand, will make you fill up a Form of Indemnity , if they have a doubt abt your profession, provided you hold a return ticket on Emrates only.
However in your case 'Translator', I see that you are a US national, hence regardless of your GCC status , you will get a visa on arrival in the UAE , so have a nice flight.
