I am thinking of joining the Emirates ranks as well. Can you tell me if there is any talk to getting free travel in coach? From what I have heard even a coach ticket is very pricey. In the US every airline that I know of is free for coach tickets for its employees. It would seem that a reduced full fare ticket would be cheaper than what it costs an employee to ride on his own airline. Does Emirates actually make a profit on staff travel? Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!
