Emirates Pay

[uba757]

Not enough money to be in 120 degree place....sorry, thanks but no thanks.

they need to pay FOs 150k per year and Captains 300k per year plus free housing

We are all heart broken that you are not going to join us out here!!!!!! Take care and enjoy. By the way, when I was in Florida for the Summer, the average temperature was 105 F daily, add the humidity and it felt like 120 F, not much difference. uba757

Since I am an American, I don't know what disrespect the U.S. Has shown towards women, so I don't know what you are talking about but everyone has the right to their opinion and to say or rant about what ever they want.
People come and people go, it is the nature of the beast in aviation. Some leave because they have been here 8, 10, 12 years and is time to leave and start new things, others leave because they were passed up for upgrade or feel that they have been mistreated in one way or another. I don't know where you work so when you say people have left and gone to where you are at, it is what it is but everyone has a story, good or bad, true or false and you have to take it for what it is, a story of personal experience. uba757

So you chose to stay in a country where mgt and the average population have little respect for pilots? Women can do everything men do in the UAE. Very different from places like Saudi Arabia. Although the social norms are much more restrictive than you might be used to. Lots of pilots quit after putting in a certain amount of years in Dubai. Different reasons. Very few want to spend the rest of their lives as expats. Individuals resigning doesn't mean the EK package is not superior to most stateside contracts. But to each his own...

Listen Sherlock..

In three years time from now he'll probably be sitting LHS in a heavy making $200-250k plus (overall packakge) having been chauffeur driven to work on his way to a 4-5 star hotel with 15 good looking gals reading an article in the WSJ about the collapse of another 'major' carrier that had to furlough guys from the bottom of some combined list. That furlough will have put a lot of guys out of their misery of sitting commuting RSV for five years flying with skyhags from hell...making squat.

Dont review a book you haven't read...it looks silly.

As to human rights...no drive-by gang bangers in our neighborhood and expat kids leave school here actually knowing how to read and write.

back to your four leg a day life jnr..

Fair statement, but I can never compare the good old USA with the emirates........I dont care how much they pay...quality of life in the us is better and lets not kidd ourselves.

Isnt the upgrade at SWA projected to be 19 years or something. Very young pilot group

 

[BigEasy]

Yes, upgrades will be in the 20+ year range. Keep in mind that pay and benefits are good from the right seat however.

 

[Dumb Pilot]

I take the pay and lifestyle of flying abroad and the life in the US.:beer:

Where did you come from? it is funny to me how former regional pilots are the ones that do the most bashing

I never said the quality of live was better in DXB. I fly at least 2 ULR's every month back home because I LOVE being back in the US, even if it is for only 4 or 5 days out of the month. Aviation in the US sucks right now. You can try to paint it however you want but the career has hit a brick wall of stagnation, corporate greed and disloyalty. The package here is not bad and because I fly on the Boeing fleet, I get 15 to 17 days off per month, my kids are getting a pretty good education and the wife is happy!

From CFII/MEI to A320

How quick does one forget, the bad thing about posting in FI is that the iformation is there for everyone to see

 

[iluvetops]

So many arrogant former RJ drivers made it to EK and coming on here to disrespect his fellow country man!

We all have choices...and EK is not what all these kids claimed to be..

Sorry, I don't understand your post or the kids comment? Most of the ex-RJ drivers here are in their mid-30's and can't help that they got into the industry at a point where majors were unstable. We all passed the same interview, training, and checkrides at EK, so what is the difference?

The only kids here are the ones that always have to be negative and complaint about stuff they have no clue about! There is always someone out there that needs to make everyone else feel as bad or as worthless as they do!
You are correct when you say we all have choices, the person that began this thread was trying to gather the information required to make that choice, funny how someone was complaining about the TEMP. in DXB as a reason for not coming!
Mr. Sniper, CFI to A320, that was a great move in your life, you are either at UAL or JetBlue, I would worry about my own problems, enough said!!!!!

RJ pilots does not have a good rep here in EK. There are some good chaps but in general many still got an attitude.

Well, the same thing can be said about a few nationalities. uba757

Maybe some of it is how they are treated when they come through training here. If you want to have a frank discussion, our training department does not have a great reputation at making newcomers feel welcomed at all..... especially RJ guys from the US (the treatment was worse with the couple of them that I had in my batch). One of my friends was an ex police officer in the UK before his flying career began and he said that he had arrested people for talking to him the way some of the SFI's did during training. I experienced the same thing. This was with EK, not CAE trainers. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about the company. Once you clear the initial training hurdle things are great and most of the guys I fly with are really great guys.

I have met some ex-USair guys here with big attitudes but I just blow it off as an individual thing, not a group issue. Is that not the right thing to do?
