Hi guys, I am taking a stab in the dark here... So like we all know Dubai living is quite expensive. I was wondering if there are any EK pilots on here who have APC cards or even any pilots who dont actually have one and would be willing to maybe let me pay the membership for them? Once off annually or if you are in Dubai we can do it monthly but can work the logistics out if there is anyone out there. It would be amazing as my wife and we only get a day off here and there together so would be great for Pool and Beach days ect.
Thank you
Thank you

I was an EPC member (it became APC) and gave up the membership. For me it just wasn't worth it for the cost versus the utilization benefit.
EK Plantinum card is a much better bet.

I'm from EU my kids go to a british school in Spain for which I pay 1200 Eur. a month ( for both). For what I've seen and researched, a british school should be covered by Emirates allowance plus I ( if I make It) should get a villa too, so I should be making around 6000 Eur. to "spend" and save, am I right? I'm I missing something? I think that with 6000 Eur I should have a good life for my family. I'm not into driving a Porsche, buying a boat, playing golf and going out every day but I still think we should be able to have a little fun with the kids every now and then and save a good money.
Am I missing something??
Thanks to all married guys from EK for your answers...... and those not married too.

I recommend reading up on EK over on Pprune and asking yourself why they need a bond to retain a 777 or 380 captain.
