I am coming up on one year here at Emirates, and I must say, I LOVE IT!!
I am assigned as FO on the B777. Yes, I fly a lot. Yes, the work is fatiguing. But the job is exactly what the company described, and is exactly what I was looking for. I can honestly say that I can see myself retiring here, I like it that much.
There's really something special about landing after 13 hours and looking back at the B777 as I walk away, and realizing that aircraft just carried us to our destination, and I, along with the Captain, were entrusted with the safety of it, and the safety of our passengers.
I always wanted to do long haul flying. It is everything I had hoped for, and more. And Emirates is truly the home for me!
Special thanks to everyone on this site who guided me along the way. And for those considering Emirates, just do it!! It's everything you can imagine and more. The negative stuff you read here? Remember, there are bad apples in every bunch. Fortunately, at Emirates, there are far more great apples than bad apples.
