EY vs EK
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can offer any light on the current mood/opinion in both. I've applied to both, got through first stages etc. I'm airbus rated. I realised the EK offer is substantially better than EY due to higher base pay, live out and also most importantly the Provident fund (is there nothing similar at EY?). That being said I know Etihad is smaller and I spoke to someone that has worked at both that felt management is better at EY due to it being smaller. At etihad I'd be on the 320 at first, at EK 380, then probably both on the 350 would be the goal.
Also living in Dubai seems to have become very stressful as its just growing non stop, whilst abu dhabi is larger and calmer with the facility of being an hour away anyway from Dxb. EK currently not offering live out to new guys unless buying, whilst EY offering. Again financial is important but also management and culture. I'm happy to hear both sides of the story, I know there was a previous thread that went back a decade saying EK was much better. But not much update recently.
Thank you and safe flying.
