Some advise for Ek new joiners
Dear Ek wannabes pilots,
I am sure that if you apply to Ek is because you can't find anything better.
if you get finally a job offer by ek, this is my advise:
1. Forget about company accomodation, rents in Dubai are a lot cheaper now and probably will be for a couple of years. You will make money out of it.
2. Do not buy a car because if you want to leave later on, you will lose a lot of money. Rent a car when you need it (it's cheap) or use taxis; Anyway, you will be using taxis all the time (no drink and drive in Dubai unless you like jail +deportation)
If you do this two things, you can leave Dubai anytime you want since the contract you sign is worth nothing.
And be ready for the probably worst rosters in your career (specially Airbus fleet). Don't be scared to call sick when your roster doesn't make sense, it is the only weapon pilots have against the company.
Cheers
