High Cirrus It has always been unwise to join ANY expat Airline IMHO other than as a Direct Entry Captain with the exception of Cathay and until recently Emirates.
Some people don't understand that once they join as an expat all the old rules go out of the window. You are on your own and upgrades have nothing to do with seniority, experience or how good/bad you are as a Pilot.
Any current Captain or high time F/O considering Emirates needs to think very carefully as to what he is letting himself in for. Years and Years possibly in the RHS!!!!! and getting poorer and poorer all the time.
