Well now I am just confused . You keep telling everyone that they need to just get a green card and they will be picked up by Delta etc, but you have been trying for ages and can't get a job? So your advice seems to be a bit off doesn't it? Misleading even. Good news is those traits should see you right for a management job with EK . See all is not lost.

I’m confused Don. I see the bad and knowing I can’t fix the rot I try to leave for a better life. You know Emirates is bad for you and yet you stay and disparage pilots trying to leave.
I will get hired by a Major. When? I don’t know but it’s a simple numbers game. The US Majors need around 20,000 pilots in the next 10 yrs and only 12,000 or so pilots have applied. Hopefully I’ll get hired sooner than later. We all know what Emirates does to us.

Numbers getting divorced would probably skyrocket if we could get some downtime out of it! 
'Sorry darling, I hate to do this but this is the only way to get that leave that I bid for and never got'

oh all of you guys are really funny but i dont have a funny situation for me going on.
My airline has shut down i am without a job for 6 months and my emirates assessment is coming up.
My math is really weak anyways i am separated with my spouse she is demanding divorce and walked
out on me the day i lost my job , a true narcissist .
Anyways i dont think many of you understand my situation but my question is should i just say i am happily married to avoid the details or
tell them i am separated ? I know in the panel interview they ask about family. I have zero kids.

They have very polite and relax attitude at panel interview. ı recommend you to be honest and just tell them you had a divorce. It is all in life. It may happen to any of us any day. ı dont see anything wrong in that. When they ask you the reason, you can say that it just did not work out and you decided it was best for two of you to seperate your paths.
And about the maths, do not worry at all. Questions are very simple such as 499994 - 388883 = ? There are more samples available on internet if you search. You only use pencil and paper for math. You will have enough time.

I am planning to apply the freighter FO position. I'm not local, I don't plan to buy a house in Dubai and I don't wanna live in the apartments Emirates offers. The question is, will I get accommodation allowance? Is there a special rule for the freighter pilots as they have a commuting contract?
