The divorce rate for Emirates pilots have skyrocketed. How many pilots have lost their wives or have had their families pack up and go back home?
Most pilots still stay because they think they make good money at EK. I dont care if you make $20,000 a month if you lose your family how much money are you going to have after the divorce and the wife gets half.
Plus is flying this much worth your health even if you manage to keep your wife. You might keep your family but not be around to enjoy your golden years with them because you are 6ft under.
think about the long term ramifications of working at Emirates.
