I am pretty happy where I am but I have recently thought about trying the expat lifestyle. I am in my early thirties, married and a 2 1/2 year old. What is life like on the line? How many days off? Can a family of soon to be 4 live comfortably on the fos salary? I have read a lot of the threads and Emirates company web site but I can't really figure out what family life is like.
How much does it cost to move to Dubai from the states and do they pay for it? Does your family get positive space tickets to move?
How often can you get back to the states? Can your wife go on long layovers with you? What are lines like? 90 hours and 10 days off or 80 hours and 16 days off. Are most of the pilots housed in the same areas. And most importantly how much money do you have left over after paying your portion of school, housing, groceries etc.
I know a lot of questions but thanks anyways.
