redirect,

Be careful with the advice above. If you have a look at riker's previous posts, you will see he offered advice to a fella last month not to give up a command and join EK. I think he may be of the very keen and young corporate pilot group. But is not, and has not been employed by the EK group as of yet.

Mate, the choice is all yours. Not much we can say that has not been said before. Great airplanes, great fellas to go to work with, and some ok destinations and route network.
They will work you to the legal max. You will get to see just how long two pilots can fly of a night time for on plenty of occasions. If you have a wife and kids, do not plan on saving till you get a command. Time for a command now is but a guess, but between 3 to 7 years seems to be mentioned a lot. But expect that to change a lot as well.

Good luck with the decision making.

Don
