I am considering applying to AJX and EK as an FO. I have been through every single page of this thread as well as the various EK threads on Pprune and am curious to know peoples opinion on which of the 2 is a better option at the moment.
I am not overly concerned about time to command, nor am I overly concerned about the salary or aircraft type. My main concern after flying a brutal narrow body schedule for the past few years is lifestyle. Wherever I go next will simply be a choice as to which will give me the most time off, and the least fatigue. If I am not mistaken AJX and EK days off over the course of a year (including leave) are more or less the same, just that at AJX they are consecutive. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Happy landings
Do you like to fly 50 hours a month or 90? Do you like varied temperatures or the heat?
I have no personal experience at EK, just what I hear from others and those who have left EK to come to AJX.
