Bad training.

Telephoto lens compression and high wind days in England make for an overblown selection bias within airplane spotting videos

Hi, I flew with them but it was horrible

Ladies and Gents,
If you are interested in EK, speak at length with someone who's done that. They can tell you the score. That's what I did. I recommend that. Posting things about why they smack the runway hard is B.S. Be real and be treated real.
Cheers,
YF

I was at EK, although I left a little over 7 years ago. It was a great experience for the whole family, I wouldn’t have traded my four years there for anything. We had a great neighborhood and lucked out with some incredible neighbors. The flying was great, and so were the overnights. The red eyes were tough to deal with, definitely a young persons game. I wouldn’t make a career out of it, but it worked out for me and nothing bad to say about them, Dubai, or the experience.

My cat loved Dubai. She hated going back to a smaller litter box.

No. Emirates has one of the best training in the world. Lets see you fly an A380, pro.

Awww, did i hurt your feelings little girl. I’m sorry. Guess it’s prob a lot more difficult than the 350.

Discouraging of hand flying in a good ol’ boys upgrade country club. Yeah…great training, bro.


Also, learning to fly a 380 is not anymore of a feat than other airplanes…..actually, easier than most. You sound like a new arrival to this biz.

Looking for some good advice: 15 years at EK and have enjoyed the experience living in a safe, international and family oriented city AND flying all over the world for a great airline.
I am considering moving back to the US provided I get on with either UPS/FedEx or another major like DL, UA, or AA.
Following numbers based on flying approx. 88hrs a month.
Yearly flight payments were $180,000, housing $65,000, PF employer contribution (15%) $22,000 : TOTAL AED $267,000.
School allowance $19,700 yearly per child, up to 3 children, this covers about 85% of tuition at an excellent private school.
Provident Fund PF has amassed $600,000 over 15 yrs and I have another 15 yrs of flying till age 65.
I understand seniority and quality of life go hand in hand however for me, I am looking to make as much as I can before retirement. Most US carriers let you fly overtime, drop trips, etc and you have so much more control of your roster (specifically picking up trips that put you into OT). Furthermore 401k contributions are anywhere from 12-16% on your overall earnings for the month.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
One of the main attractions of UPS/FedEx is their Fund A (direct contribution).
The big question is, if given the opportunity to join DL, UA, AA should I go OR should I wait for UPS/FedEx to start hiring again?
Thanks a lot for any sound suggestions.
