Emirates have a dedicated SISARINPAM team.
This is the Sickness,Ill health, Surveillance And Review Independent Non Prejudice Autonomous Monitoring team who work tirelessly to protect workers rights. Although sickness is sometimes and occasionally looked at, this certainly would never be a deciding factor in sacking you or making you redundant as some have alluded to on this forum.
Emirates offer state of the art accommodation in a cosmopolitan city with tax free benefits. Meydan south is a green and welcoming community where pilots live in harmony and really are one big team. You can expect to fly 80 hours per month and all holiday will be granted upon request, and you can expect some great retail discounts across the city, such as costa coffee discount of 25 percent (certain terms and conditions apply)
Although Meydan South is a small ride out of town, the roads are amongst the best in the world. The traffic is light, and drivers are very courteous which makes driving an absolute pleasure.
Children get a well rounded education which sets them up for the real world. They are fortunate to share classes with children who's parents work in a whole host of careers such as Captain and First Officer as well as Synthetic flight instructor.
Opportunities to return home do exist. Allowance is made for pilots to return home on their own days off but the company does ask that an off base notification is completed so Emirates can identify your position on your off days. This is to make sure you stay safe on your down time.
