I have a job offer at Emirates and Southwest Airlines
By show of hands, should I stay in the USA and fly a 737 for Southwest or ditch everything and head to Emirates? May seem like an odd question but advice from all angles is helpful.

I will break it down:
Single over 30:SW
married under 30:SW
single under 30:SW
married over 30: Sw
Hope that helps breaking it down depending on your different life scenarios

Is this for real? It should be no brainer. Today SWA proposed TA with 28% increase in pay. B737 does suck compared to a WB, but still swa FOs are making more than EK CAs, numbers do not lie!

Longshank,
I'm a 777 CA. I have 8 days off in September. Not in a row, but total days off for the month. That should answer your question. I'm guessing that your question is a windup. Move to the ME to work twice as hard for 20-30% less money. Sounds tempting to me too.

In my humble opinion there is NO question about it.
Hands down...go with SWA.
With the quality of life in the USA, and even more importantly, how SWA values, respects, appreciates, and treats its employees...well, there just truly is no comparison.

I agree...Southwest has much better pay and contract, in the long run it is always better to be in ones own country.
If you are single and want to see the World you may actually enjoy the flying and destinations at Emirates....little more adventurous than 12 hour layover in Topeka

Let me pose this question.....30 years and SWA? 30 at EK? Well, you probably won't be able to make 30 at EK. So after 15 or so posts unanimously suggesting SWA, what's it gonna be?

This HAS to be a wind-up. There was a time long ago when a comparison could be made that might somehow flatter EK (pay, career advancement, whatever). But the dismal, rapidly, ever-declining QOL at EK for several years now makes it a question that doesn't even bear asking.
Whatever advantages EK may offer "on paper" are absolutely obliterated by the negatives, well-documented, well, everywhere on this site. And there is no will to change that.
Southwest. Southwest. Southwest.
x infinity.
