Allowances down route are just enough to cover costs down route. All discounts offered by hotels taken out of allowances before you get them. Forget about saving any unless you like Pot Noodles and crap TV.
Fun? Longest night stop Dhaka (Bangladesh) perhaps Jakata occasionally. Mauritius/Seychelles 12 hours, great fun! The rest 24 hours or less. So maybe a chance to save some of those allowances after all.
Fleet: Modern. 777/330 no proper rest facilities so you will be spending a long time in the driving seat...piles of fun.
17,100 Dhms = approx £2410.00 = $4,700 US...hasn't changed in REAL terms for years and has in FACT devalued with the $ (over 25% net in the last 3 years...not EKs problem apparently but it WILL be yours). Time to command 5-7 years maybe...T&Cs will change and have effected this in the past. DECs still possible and will directly effect your command prospects.
Bond? There is one liable for the first 3 years, however, if they change T&Cs during your stay...no bond (keep original signed contract & see lawyer).
With 4000 hours, 2000 jet; yes you meet the minima and yes they are recruiting but surely you could do better than EK?
