I would be somewhat wary joining EK at the moment.
Yes a job is definitely better than no job and the pay is ok though it will be earned with fatigue, disrespect, and an a care-not attitude to any problems.
Living in Dubai is likely to get unpleasant though. The city is in deep economic strife and there is much more to come. So is EK I hear. Each week another loss. There will be further cuts to T&C with little to be done about it.
The mantra's abound: "If you dont like it - leave", "You are lucky to have a job". Not exactly a model of Resource Management though they would have us believe that they place high value on this in an aircraft. Only it is not practiced from above.
For a single man woman with no ties or obligations to the place and no intention of doing anything without being able to leave the uniform on an overnight and drift away - then fine. EK will work (And so will you!)
For someone moving a family, or intending setting up shop here for some time including capital outlay on the required utilities, then think long and hard. Your family is unlikely to thank you in the future.
