Thx. sounds like when you are at the top of the cycle the lines are pretty descent and when you are at the bottom they are not so great. But over all it sounds like everybody is working 16 to 20 days a month. Does this seem corect? Thx

Technically the company are supposed to roster two days off after a long leave so that you are acclimatised to Dubai for your next duty start. You only have to be back in order to have 3 local nights rest prior to a duty that requires you to be acclimatised. If the duty that you have after leave does not require you to be acclimatised then there is no requirement to be back until the duty starts.
The only flights that require one to be acclimatised are ULR flights and some of the longer nasty night turns to the Sub-Continent. If you have a Europe departure or some shorter trip after leave then there is no need to be back until the day prior, or even morning of said departure.

Thx TP. Sounds like its Ok with the proper bidding technique. One last question. As far as taxes go does EK show the Villa and school money they pay you as taxable income or just as a benefit like medical covergae. In other words do you pay taxes on the money you recieve for the villa and private school?
Thx

Yes, you can work as a SFI (Synthetic Flight Instructor) as F/O.

But it's not really worth being an SFI as an FO. Basically, you could do it for one year, then if you do it any longer than that, you are delaying your upgrade. They will only give you 500 hours TOTAL credit towards your upgrade after you teach for 500 hours in the sim. (Basically one for one credit until you reach 500 hours sim instruction). After you reach 500 hours sim instruction, you receive zero credit for sim instructing. Depending on how much you actually fly the line, will be detrimental to your time requirements at Emirates (3000 EK time and if you're under 55T, it's 4000 EK time).
