Hello EK pilots well i need and advice from all of you, i receive and schedule for an interview, and i have been reading this forums for more than 2 months, and i only read like the money is not good in EK and thinks like that but i will explain my case, i am F/O 27 years old single flying an A320 for south american airline earning $2200 at month; thats not much here beleive me is very expensive fuel, food, everything for example for a nice house middle class, normal house cost $385000 and you pay $2500 at month so the only think that i could buy was a car and not a good one so i was thinking to leave from this airline and fine a better oportunity may be EK is fine so now my question

With an F/O salary (of course i am single) it is possible to live in one of this areas in lakes, meadows, springs, emirates hill, may be to buy a house, and may be a porsche cayenne, go to nice restaurants well have a nice life of course or not?

thanks for your helps i appreciate

Hey ELSANTO,

I think you must come to Emirates!

Yes you will be able to get a house in the Meadows,Lakes etc... unfortunately on a FO salary you will be limited to a 5 bedroom villa with a swimming pool and maybe a gym. Porsche Middle East offer great deals to EK pilots, as a FO you will easily afford a full options Cayenne, but not the TURBO as they cost a little more. As a single guy you will NEVER have to cook and can enjoy the many reasonably priced restaurants in Dubai. :rolleyes:

I look forward to flying with you!

Amigo,
no problem just bring a suitcase full of the white stuff you must be taking, then you can afford the turbo.

Check 'Six'

As a company car you are given the choice between a Ferrari 430 or Aston Martin Vanquish. Most of us choose the Audi Estate in silver. You are also entitled to free golf membership at any club of your choice.

Please come because we need more pilots and hopefully we can play a round of golf together on one of the 15 days off a month we regularly enjoy!

Good Luck:ok:

Check Six

Elsanto,

You have one more thing in your favour, you can spell better than most!

So lets just confirm....

A fellow aviator asks a genuine (if naive) question on the appropriate forum and the response is to demonstrate the size of your cojones by sarcasm, ridicule and insults about his command of (his second language) English.

But hey!! You're safely behind the curtain of anonymity,so go for it, heroes!!!

19th Jul 2006, 10:54

Yes WIZOFOZ.

Humour, the spice of life!

By the way, YOUR real name is? :rolleyes:

Wizofoz

19th Jul 2006, 11:33

By the way, YOUR real name is?

Errr...Quite well known in these parts..

Yours?

And there is a difference between humour and taking the P!ss.

If you've got the time to take the mickey out of the guy, and take a pop at me, why not, I don't know, show the guy some respect and answer his question?

Nice one.....
Now, who in Colombia operates A-320s??
A normal middle class house in Bogota $385000?? You looking to buy El Palacio de Narino, o que??
Porsche Cayenne?? El autentico Traquetomovil!!!
Sounds more like a "Gomelo" to me...

Come on guys, this has got to be a wind up. If not, I would say that there is more tha enough info available if a simple search was attempted.

Having said all that, my Cayenne is in the shop and my maid, Claudia Schiffer, is not being as accomodating as before. Could she have heard the rumours?

ELSANTO

19th Jul 2006, 16:49

Heyy... hey no really i am talking serious if no i stay in this F.. airline why move to there if i willnot have those think if i am going to make a big step is for better life no for saving money and not enjoy it bur anyways the question is very serious and i would like your honest answer and beleive thinks here are expensive thats a normal house from 3 rooms and smal one no a palacio if thinks are like that in all over the world i choose wrong carrer but anyways thank you guys.

Sorry to burst your popularity bubble - I still have no idea who you are. :confused:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ELSANTO, if you ARE SERIOUS, then sorry amigo on a joining FO salary alone you will not be able to afford to buy a house and a Cayenne would probably be out of your reach unless you intend to throw most of your salary at it. Have a look at the numerous posts on this forum regarding EK and do the Math for yourself.

Sorry Wizo, you've been had. Someone's a little bored on his 3rd day off in July and registered a new handle.

There is a statement being made here, but it's obviously not about housing, cars, pay or golf courses.... :uhoh:

Really! You make laugh:). When you come to Dubai for the interview don't forget to mention to EK your goals, and dreams. I am sure they will be able to help you out. Plenty of medical help available for you here.

PS. Don't forget to bring your golf clubs, and Ferragamo shoes.

Cheers

compadre no les hagas casa a esta sarta de animales, no te puedo dar informes de Ek pues yo vuelo para la competencia desde hace unos meses. Yo ganaba lo mismo que tu antes de venir y la verdad que no me puedo quejar, tengo familia y si se puede ahorrar. se que es una decision muy importante pero vale la pena.

VCT Compadre ,

We are not a 'bunch of animals' but imagine the boot on the other foot:

"Hey guys, I want to work for ......! Is the allowance big enough for a Cabana on the beach, a McClaren Mercedes SLR and 4 babes in thongs to shag?"

Doesn't sound too professional either in English or Spanish. By the way shame you went to the dark side up the Gulf. Good Luck!

It's a matter of individual choice under given circumstances. EK, QR, SV, GF, KU, EY, WY or any other operator here or elsewhere is a good job for some, not so good for others, horrible for many and so on.
We live in a free world and we will always be looking for something better. It's pointless to have a go at each other because of one's likes or dislikes of this or that airline or job. It's global now. People from countries, we never thought of working with, are now colleagues. True, 1,000AEDs for some it's peanuts, for others it's a lot. C'est la vie.
Keep discorvering until you find better...:cool: Live and let live...:ok:

22nd Jul 2006, 08:52

compadre you do not do house to them to this string of animals, I cannot give information you of Ek because I fly for the competition from a few months ago. I won just like your before coming and the truth that I cannot be complained, I have family and if it is possible to be saved. that are a very important decision but is worth the trouble. luck

Today at DXB it's 39c with 1km viz in blowing sand, dust and haze. Summer in Dubai isn't fun, not even during a 24 hour layover.

Santa Fe De Bogota has better climate, better living standards, better women. Why would you want to come here to sweat in a sandbox....? You must be loco. :ugh:

You are not a pilot you are nothing more but un maricon estiercol de la playa:yuk: :yuk: :yuk: who have decided to come on these forums to put some trouble this is so obvious that I'm wondering what the mods are doing,watching TV and drinking coke for sure! Things are so easy here...just write what you want and wait for people to react,as badly as possible,and...it works,unfortunatly;I confirm that this thread should be stopped,to keep the relative friendly level they have more or less always had.

9th Aug 2006, 10:14

QCM,

Is it legal to have 'Colombian' and 'Coke' in the same thread? Lets hope the mods are only drinking it.;) You can imagine the News of the World headlines: 'Colombia dreaming...some trouble... watching tv with coke'

Well I thought it was funny!
