As a new pilot starting at emirates . I have learned more from you than the HR at emirates . Great video thanks! Keep it up!

I'm a Emirates 777 FO for about 2 years plus. Do I see myself in Emirates for 15 years? Maybe Yes Maybe No.
Emirates is a great company don't get me wrong, but it's the currency we earn in Dirhams that is not strong enough in my opinion.
Many I know in Emirates are interested in upcoming RiyahAir on 787 Dreamliner fleet.
Higher Salary, better benefits.

To all inspiring pilots please bear in mind that pilot of any airlines flights are havoc. Your schedule timing is all over the place.
Many sleepless day, your body is quite screwed up always.

When you layover and wake up. 3 questions always.
Where am I?
What time is it?
What country am I at now?

Ain't complaining, but pilot is one of the best jobs in the world.

Thank you, Caner, for crafting such an insightful video. Your clear explanations using percentages and various scenarios truly made sense. I'm grateful for the effort you put into organizing the spreadsheet and conducting all the necessary calculations. Take care and keep up the great work!

Best YouTube Aviator. Right to the point 👉 Thank you man

[OrsonCallanKrennic]

Thank you for making these, Caner. Flying for EK has been a dream of mine for a few years now and your videos are everything I've been looking for and more. I'm currently majoring in Computer Science and will be starting a second major in Aeronautical Science next year while also beginning to work towards my PPL. My plan is to make it to one of the airlines here in Brazil as soon as possible so I can build up my hours and go from there. Once again, thank you, and keep up the amazing work!

Hi Caner, thanks for this comprehensive video about Salaries and total earnings for Emirates Pilots. Competition is a good thing and even though Emirates Pilots are not Unionized, the airline increased the benefits, for pilots into 2024, to keep competitive. I think your spreadsheet on Salary possibilities was very helpful to see the whole picture.

12% matching for 5% is insanely generous. Wow!

[edikaninyang]

I would like you to do a video on applying for Emirates and the entire process till you fly

[indraneelmahekar]

Hi Caner! Love the insight you bring from the very enticing world of being an Emirates Pilot. Could you make a video on the different nationalities and their probability of getting hired into Emirates?

kaptanım verdiğiniz değerli bilgilerle ufkumuzu aydınlattğınız için teşekkür ediyorum

[martinkwesimawusi]

Great info. Could you please do same for the Amirican Airline you flying for?

[hahahahah]

Why dont people stay at emirates for 30 years? Are they laid off or what?

[Juan-wyuq]

Caner it was a very interesting video! I have one question about provident found, can I retire my money whenever I want? It's different from 401K?

[tekker]

Where did you get figures for housing allowance? Online, they are much lower.

[marwendridi]

Hi caner can you please answer these 3 following questions because i couldn't find the answer anywhere
1- you mentionned in a video that you've went to flight school in florida and the first airline that you worked for is turkish airlines. If i am not wrong if you want to make direct entry as an F/O you need at least 1500 hours of flight time but you were a new pilot . How did you exactly do that?
2- united airlines have so many hubs do you get to choose where to live or do the airline assign it to you
3- At emirates you were a 777 pilot but now you're back at the 737 . Did you make that change or did the airline do it ? And if it's the airline choice can you change it by yourself ?

Hello,
Do Emirates airlines pilots get paid for Deadhead? and if not, is it included in your monthly productivity?
Also are you paid for Standby duty (on call)? and if not, how it’s calculated in your monthly productivity?
Also if you can add to it how is your current company deals with those situations?
Thank you

[salahaljuhaym]

Thank you very much. You videos gave me the best inside look into the company. I am currently an aircraft technician. So do you have anyone that you know that can help me get some info about being an engineer in terms of salary. Thank you
