Last month EK was here in Vancouver looking for licenced engineer. I've been a licenced engineer for more than ten years with A330/340 B777-200/300 and B747-200/400 approval. I really need some detailed info about the position upthere in Dubai. What does engineer's work enviroment look like? How many flights do engineers signoff on one shift? What kind of accommodation is engineer entitled? And I'm sure I will have more questions coming up later on.
Thanks for your reply.
Dad was considering of applying for Emirates as an Licensed Aircraft Engineer.
I dont know much about the work culture over there. But what i do know is (from an Australian perspective), Emirates pay their engineers a lot less than engineers working for any Australian airline (Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin, Tiger). Sure, Emirates salary is tax free and they throw in a housing allowance, but Dad worked out that he is still $30k AUD ahead staying here in Australia than what he would be if he worked in Dubai.
Another thing to consider, there are a lot of LAME jobs going around in Asia that are offering a lot more money than what Emirates is offering with a commuting contract.
