Posting this crap and being so angry doesn't help. You are warning people for your experience which is fine, but you could be 30+ up for command and being screwed in the pooch while your wife and kids are getting annoyed with Dubai and taking it out on you while you take your anger out on them.
Now there is a 26 year old, single, 4k + hours thinking about EK just to gain experience, fly WB and make more money to pay of his immense flight school loan. Not interested in command, gone in 5 years and just wants to work 100+ hours in order to make as much money as possible. How is EK a bad option for him?
I think you'll find most current Emirates pilots are angry at the way we are being treated, but hey no one has to believe all these negative posts and they can come and experience life at Emirates first hand!
I'm sorry, but once you take into account the cost of living here then it's not a much better package than in Europe or other countries around the world.
Doing 100+ hours per month is not a good option because it's killing us. Even some Emirates doctors will tell you that! You might pay off your loan quicker, but then you'll die earlier and not be able to enjoy as much of your loan free life as most pilots on humane rosters.
