Beware of Emirates.
I am a fairly new pilot at Emirates and terms and conditions for pilots and cabin crew are going from bad to worse at an ever increasing rate.
The latest degradation to cabin crew terms and conditions is the removal of the right to self certify up to 2 days sickness. This is typical of the way Emirates does business. A small minority had been abusing the system but rather than deal with them individually, Emirates chooses to punish 16,000 cabin crew. Similar story for being able to book staff travel, obtain annual leave etc etc.
Please, do not fall into the trap of believing the advertising bs. Sure, you will travel the world. But 95% of layovers are for 24 hours and all you will feel like seeing is your bed at the airport hotel.
Emirates is not the employer it once was. It has a major retention and recruitment problem - due entirely to the way it mistreats its employees.
