Linder..I hate to destroy you thoughts....but all Emirates cadets are fully funded by Emirates. All flying training, ground schools, line training..whatever you can think of is paid by EK..and they get paid a salary from day 1.
If you join Emirates as a " normal" pilot, you get ground school, type rating and the rest for free, plus get paid a salary from day 1.
Then there are the rest of the perks..available on the EK web site.
EK has its faults, but it still remains one of the best employers around, and they never charge anyone for training.
Please get your facts right, before you post.
