Thinking hard about Emirates
Hello all!
I'm 34 and employed in corporate aviation flying a Falcon 2000 out of SFO. I'm thinking hard about applying for Emirates.
I'm unattached to the SFO area, and desire to fly larger equipment, worldwide. Looking for a career, not just a job. I have spent a fair amount of time in the middle east and don't mind it one bit. I am attracted to the mostly tax free income, as I have about $50k of debt I would like to repay here in the USA. I make $120,000 per year at my job, but I think even first year pay would be a raise as far as take home is concerned, because of the tax benefits.
Currently I have 5300 hours, all corporate, 1400 jet SIC, and 2500 jet PIC. 1200 turboprop PIC. Five type ratings.
So fire away, do I sound like someone Emirates would want? Any thoughts and advice is very welcomed.
