Join using the US passport. I was in the exact same boat. I joined using the UK passport, but when the opportunity came to do JFK flights, I was told I would have to go and get a US visa.
So, I changed to the US.
This will save you A LOT of hassle.

Join on the UK pasport and your ERP currency is the GBP. This means more AED for you to send back as USD.
Join on the US passport and all you'll ever get is the AED (which as we all know is pegged to the USD) salary.
No-brainer. Who cares about visas??????
But after posting this, they're probably onto you and will be waiting.
That is a load of horse!!!!!.
ERP is based on your joining ADDRESS...NOT PASSPORT.
If you lived in the US before you join...you get no ERP. Simple as that. I went through all of this already...so don't listen to the mis-information from others.

yada,
rubbish! I could name a dozen pilots, including yours truly, whom joined from jobs/domicile in the UK but with nationalities/passorts not from UK - and guess what, we are not considered as being from UK for ALT/ERP etc
Sealy101,
if you can, go with the UK one, a US crew visa takes about 2 hours to get.

If you are a US citizen and enter the US using a foreign passport you will loose 30 min each time in a back room to explain to the not so friendly immigration officials why you are trying to fool them.
But you can try...

Now is that 2 hours after the 2 you've spent in the queue at 6 in the morning and does it include another hour through security and waiting in line? Oh, and what about going back to pick it up?
To be totally honest, i'm only going on hearsay having not done it personally. I'm still waiting for the Company to roster me it as a duty instead of doing Company business on a day off!
