Hello to CAP77
Hello mate
I have read this whole tread and parts are correct about EK.
At the end of the day you will get the courses. You will get housing and schooling and good benefits to travel the world for bugger all.
At the end of the day its not all about the money (as the contractors keep on saying). It's about lifestyle.
I have many friends in EK and enjoy the world under the EK umbrella of benefits.
I understand Toronto is closing for EK engineers hence the reason you might be looking to come to DXB. Hang in there for the application.
Don't listen to the average contractor that is single/divorced because of the money drug.
