Yet another Emirates question.
I know it depends on what kind of flying you do, but how many days off(at home) should a new hire expect? Do overnights count as days off? If anyone has a non-rumor answer to this question...or a link to a good answer, I would appreciate it.

The more important point for a non-commuter might be how many nights ( sometimes days
) in my own bed. Generally that would be closer to 18.Typhoonpilot

I have an interview. But I'm worried it's going to be lots of time zone changes and not enough time off to recover before back out again. Is that a misconception? Obviously, it depends on the person, but in general . . .

Seriously though, if you're worried about your health on the interview, you might want to take a close look at how EK roster.
