Hi all,
I am wondering a little bit about the pro's and con's when working for Emirates and flydubai. I have decided to relocate and get a new experience, and kind of stir up the bowl a little. This is all still in the planning phase, no interviews taken yet, but which airline should I go for?
Question is: Emirates package or flydubai package? I am a experienced F/O so entry stage will be F/O for both companies. But what is desireable? Emirates with widebody, but 'long' time to command, or flydubai with narrowbody and short time to command?
I am interested about the things that are a little difficult to research via the websites. Lifestyle, time at home, duration of slings, and so on. I would like to know whether it is desireable to bring the wife and small kid to a long haul operation contra a 'get-home-every-day' lifestyle.
And what are your experiences with the benefits at Emirates contra flydubai? For the misses and junior. Salary is of course interesting, but everyday life is my main concern.
So those of you with experiences with the above - I would be glad to read your response!
Cheers
