No sweat skate. The MD11 has classic yoke and throttles, handles nicely (very good A/T if they allow you). The glass cockpit is bigger than AB and the display only differs in a tape as V/S. Otherwise you'll end up wishing having this cockpit in all your future birds.
Where as for EK, the promises are great but you'll end up wishing not having fallen for this. Car is the least of your worries, housing a roulette game. Paywise just hope for a revaluation of the local currency, then you US boys win a little. But generally pay does not keep up with inflation - it's as simple as that.
