Well written but:

Emirates remains one of the best packages available.
Can anyone name another Airline that offers a better package and is currently recruiting? Please give details if able.

Most know this hence the turnover of pilots is well within historic norms with regards to Emirates and better than many major carriers.

Job security is high from a number of perspectives. E.g. Not the same can be said for a major British carrier that is undoubtably going to collapse or break up given their losses, industrial action and an unsustainable pension system that has been raided to the point where the liabilities will ultimately bring the airline down. Many will not see their expected returns. Contrast this with Emirates' completely independent Provident Fund.

We can probably expect many of this carrier's pilots to be applying here over the next few years. Most of them arriving with more than ample type and network experience.
