PH, submitted EK's application Jan 2004.

QB, yes lots of bad rumors in dxb but ... right now I'm not working ... just think that I had to share the cost of a sim with abuddy to renew my IR and type ratings ...

Ryanair: I have to put up in cash over 30,000€ before starting the conversion course.
Good cash, but no benefits (license insurance, medical, kid's school ...)
Command upgrade in maybe 3-4 years.
Good a/c, glass cockpit for the long term.

Emirates: medium pay, lots of benefits (house + bills, medical, school ...)
no advance cash for training, just a bond.
Command upgrade maybe 5-6 years.
New a/c (330/340 o 777) bad recently also 310 pax/cargo ... (bad?!?!).
bad ... long haul ... away from home (EU) and from family (in dxb).

Give me your inputs ...
the decision in on me

thanks
