Hello -
I am a captain at a regional airline in the United States, and my wife may have an opportunity to take a promotion in the UAE at her company (she works in oil and gas). I never have considered Emirates, especially after hearing how fatigue inducing the rosters are, and the lack of pay/housing increases. That being said, how would it work if my wife’s firm was to pay for housing, expatriate benefits, etcetera. Would Emirates give us the money should we decide to buy, or are we just ‘out’ that aspect of compensation? Finally, would the freighter side be a better fit in my situation? I don’t have a Boeing or Airbus type so don’t know what opportunities other than EK would be possible.
Thanks!
