Emirates cadet COS
Oasis
'Emirates, BA, QF
Yes all those foreign airlines have cadet scemes...And dont pay their pilots housing allowance.'
Emirates cadets have no bond, and transition directly after GA training to the A330 or B777 as FO's. Identical salary as expats for the same job.
The requirement for Command is 6k hours which takes ~ 10 years for a cadet.
Emirates cadets get the same housing COS as expats, a rent-free supplied 3 br appartment if they are not married, or a supplied 3-4 br villa if married. All services, utilities, rates, local telephone service paid for by EK.
When they want to build a house, the Dubai government gives Dubai born local residents a block of land, and a 25 yr interest free loan of Aed 500k. Emirates also gives a 4 yr interest free loan of Aed 250k. Abu Dhabi born local residents do even better.
A Dubai born local resident can retire after 15 years service on 70 % full salary for life, or after 20 years service 100% salary for life. Not sure if this is indexed. (Sure beats the EK expat COS where the company provides 12% salary to be invested!)
