Who knows which is better.
I would say it is horses for courses. You need to speak in person to genuine pilots from both communities to try and figure it out. Any time anyone writes anything remotely positive about EK they are shot down in flames, that doesn't necessarily mean it's not for you. Likewise some people last only 3 months here whilst others I know are very happy.
Try and speak to someone in a similar situation. Same nationality same aged kids etc to try and find a balanced view from all companies you are interested in.
Just to say, 16 days off next month, no leave, 70 hrs logged and 2 days in the sim. Young family and quite happy at the moment. Will it always be like this.....don't count on it, but life has been quite pleasant the last 6 months or so.
