Do Both Interviews

Come over and check it out for yourself, meet a few guys over beers and see what you think.

EK
PROS:
Better Structured, No Narrowbody, Better standard of Housing, Living in DXB, cheaper to live nowadays, Pick up for work, Housing utilities paid for(capped but nevertheless), westernies environment, big 777 order few days ago
CONS:
Longer time to command, No overtime( as far as i know),

EY
PROS:
Shorter time to command(allegedly)
CONS:
Management, Crap standard of housing(pay your own utilities), Consistency differs from building to building(there is no standard) you can end up in a hovel or something a bit more decent, Rostering(specially A320), Expensive cost of living, No transportation provided for work( you will feel it when driving home after a couple of night flights with minimum rest and no food onboard for the crew), Narrowbody, delayed delivery of A380 and etc

Im sure many guys can add more than this, but im tired after too many night flights and minimum rest. Good luck
