Flion,
With much due respect, it all comes down to what you would want to get paid to be in your home country. I read your post and it’s spot on how the company corners you to stay in Dxb.
10yr 777 captain at Delta makes $335+ per credit hour. With work rules, profit sharing (that’s transparent), leave that’s awarded, sick time, and overall treatment there is no comparison. Somebody can correct me, but last year was just under 20% profit share. Do the math.
I fly a narrow body airplane at Delta and was previously an EK tractor captain. Hands down, a narrow body captain at Delta makes more money, has more benefits, and way better QOL than anyone at EK.
The ability to drop trips, move trips, and enjoy life is paramount.
You can have your money, I got my life back.
Safe flying to all,
CC
