Would it be better over a 10 year period doing 4/5 years as an EK FO then moving for command or going in as a DEC 737 at FZ?
Are the hours similarly high at FZ?
Go to EK, there is no comparison on lifestyle ,salary, pension. High energy,if you check their posts is part of the FZ recruitment team. There is another mass exodus of pilots from FZ to EK about to happen. You can ask any pilot in FZ this.
