Some have multiple personalities eh Habibi
Regarding the 1 car thing, depends where you live. In DSO, Layan, Jebel Ali, the New Maydan aka EPC (Emirates Pilots Compound), if you are married and have kids and have only 1 car, its a recipe for marital strife. The isolation, lack of shops (newer ones for the basics) will wear couples down.
The length of time to command now is huge, when it was 3-4 years, staying at EK was acceptable. not now. 10 years for a command, hahahaha.
Most Americans I fly with under 50 are talking about moving to the US majors. Emirates needs to get real with the package.
Paywise, its not keeping up with local inflation, so no wage rise = salary cut/pay cut. ERP is nice for some of us it helps, but not all get that.
The Maydan accommodation, was the final nail for me in the future QOL issues for new joiners. If I was threatened with that place, I would seriously reconsider my position. What were they think when that place was designed.
Training, to be honest since MM has been at the helm, it has only got better. We all know certain individuals are teflon coated. Dial 2 if you get a training duty with them!
