You really.... and I mean REALLY should not consider Emirates. It has turned into nothing more than a slave ship mentality.

Those poor guys are flying upwards of 95 and 100 hours a month doing long haul, all night turns, short haul, daytime, nighttime/nighttime daytime mix that will sooner kill you without you even being aware of it..... all with the comment from EK that, "It's legal".

Total and complete farce from what it used to be when I was hired there a decade ago.

I was one of the lucky ones who escaped with my health mostly intact.

Think very very hard before going to EK. Marketing there is the best I've ever seen and they will make it seem like nirvana.

Just stay away from them. If Etihad is hiring (which I don't think they are), they'd be the only ones I'd recommend.
