Well, sounds like there are some similarities. One thing I forgot to ask was about the sick days, does Emirates get any? Or do you earn XXX number of hours or allowed XXX number of days to use per year? Also please clarify the 42 days of leave for both - is that the max you will get or can you earn additional as the years go by?
Thank you again for the answers. This is much easier than piecing it together over many forums that have vague references.
