Question Emirates. Decision on F/O Position.

I am asking for help here. mainly from 3rd year F/Os !
I am presently making a decision to join or not to join ?

One huge attraction was F/O to Capt in 3 years . I have been assured this will Not be the case shortly .It really is affecting the way I am viewing the company and I would appreciate any candid answers at this point.
- Is the training good.

With no policy on Direct Entry Captains is it realistic to believe they will only take the 100 captains as previously mentioned in other posts .OR .;is there a pilot agreement in place .( It has been my experience that this can be the single biggest problem for morale and CRM in an airline );F/O s tend to leap to the next best possibility A.S.A.P.There is always a resentment factor as well.

Can you seriously get by on F/O pay living as a family of 4 in Dubai..on emirates f/o pay ?

Is inflation and cost of living really that bad ?

Can someboby please give me an honest idea of the average F/O take home paycheck; for Airbus and Boeing and is it pretty much the same pay on both types monthly .

Feel free to PM me if you would rather not post here.

Thank you to anyone that has the time.
