Married couples
I've never heard of such 'married couple code' in aviation. The first 6 months, you will be on probation with Emirates so you won't be able to 'bid' or choose your flights. Plus, even if you applied together, it's possible that you don't get your GC the same day, therefore you might start at different date. But I guess the second to receive his/her GC can ask to leave the same date, if possible. When your probation period is over, you can bid for the same flights and if you have similar seniority, it's possible that you might have a similar roster, but not guaranteed. Again, depending on the fleet, you might not work side by side since usually (I guess it's the same with EK) it's the CCM who choose the position on board. In other words, be prepare to be separate at some point. But at least, if you make it together in Dubai, you will get 45000 dirhams in allowances for living. So yes, you will live together.
