You might have to spell it out for me, what does being in Uruguay have to tell us?
Look at the streetview images.

Ah, got it, I flagged the posts as spam and they are still coming in every forum, apparently the mods don’t care.
I enjoy seeing what he has to say. Hopefully will post more details. Remember that when it comes to Nippon Cargo, you will start off getting all your Japanese licenses right from the beginning and spend about 7 months over there to start. US dollars are great, more and more every day. The 747 is a great aircraft to fly. Not many rotating jobs like that. Nippon Cargo is a great opportunity if your desire is to fly the really big jets. But there is the fatigue factor to consider. Maybe it is worth it to go when young and after banking good money, come back to a Flair type job when older knowing that it won't be as stable a career as AC or WJ.
More for the single crowd. Then again, I know a retired far east captain with a young Japanese wife. She takes great care of him for whatever he wants. Meanwhile, a mechanic I know, who loves airplane work, who has his own business was giving me a story today that I hear so often......the wife has been pushing him for years to give it all up to move somewhere else that she wants to go. Reminds of the guy I know that can't go to Oshkosh for just one holiday per year because his wife won't let him. Hear that kind of story a lot.

How do you know if what he says is true given the locator the “office”?
Maybe look for information from a more reputable source

There are other forums you can go on for further information. Do a search.

I don’t care about flying for Nippon, I care if someone posts what can quite possibly be a scam and literally posts the same thing in every airlines separate forum, so I flagged them as spam!

Websters dictionary
“unsolicited usually commercial messages (such as emails, text messages, or Internet postings) sent to a large number of recipients or posted in a large number of places”
If the poster had simply posted in the employment forum as opposed to every airlines separate forums, I wouldn’t have even noticed and or cared.
Combine that with the supposed location of the office pointed out by another long time poster, it comes across as a phishing scam, so I flagged them and it was then up to the moderators to determine whether or not they allowed it to continue.
You sure seem vested, what do you gain out of this?

Obviously the details presented by the pilot can't specifically be proven or disproven. But I have read threads on other forums about Nippon Cargo and it generally lines up with what I read in the past. It wouldn't surprise me if this fellow is getting a commission but that doesn't mean what is being stated isn't true(or mostly so). And while I haven't seen the other posts he made, this is exactly the right forum and topic thread for the subject and it is an opportunity for Canadians that professional pilots should be aware of. There are not many opportunities for Canadians to operate the Queen of the Skies. It is a very cool experience. Even more so when you still have the option of continuing to live in Canada while getting paid in a much stronger currency.

There's a lot of bias to overseas airlines by Canadians i find.
As someone in the process with Emirates I have found a lot of my concerns have been brought up and answered. Currently in their ground school is 2 air canada guys.
Yes there is some sacrifices to going overseas and yes those airlines such as cathay are no longer as great as they once we're but I believe it absolutely is better then any opportunity in Canada. There's lots of guys that tell you, "oh but you'll have to come back and join flair". The majority of guys I now who did their career overseas probably did because they didn't want to retire and still do some flying but they have to pay taxes.
From what I can see with Emirates current contract it has way better QOL of life measurements, overnights, salary and bonus opportunities in comparison to Canadian companies.
I'd say apply, can always say no if you wanna stay stuck, become toxic and defend the shit pile that's our industry
The hardest part isn't joining Emirates, it's your exit strategy.
At the end of the day, you're an expat. First one to get the boot when the next 'black swan event' happens.
They also run the crews pretty hard out there and there's no union to protect you. Try booking off for fatigue over there ... see what happens.
Once you're back, then what ? Back to year 1 Cargojet, AC flat pay yyz reserve ? Will you want to do that at 50, 55 ?
If you're going to the sandbox, be smart with your money.

Either go there temporarily for the experience and good money or stay and retire early with all that tax-free money.
Just want to bust a few myths. Dubai is what you make of it, some love it, some hate it. My family and I like it. It’s safe, modern, and open. Yes, women can wear bikinis on the beach and walk around at 2 AM without worrying about being assaulted. I have plenty of booze in the fridge. I don't have to worry about my Dodge Ram getting stolen like in Brampton or my villa being invaded. If you’re a farm boy from Saskatchewan or love summers on the dock in cottage country, it might not be for you. Nobody’s working 22 days a month. The A380 FOs are the laziest, flying 10-12 days max (some can’t even get enough sectors for an upgrade), while Boeing guys average around 15 days. Everyone also gets 42 days vacation. Pay, housing, bonuses, and staff travel are all public info (check PCC or the EK site). No union? True, but when guys get fired, there’s usually more to the story. If you’ve had regular chats with an ALPA rep or a few too many tea and biscuit meetings with the Chief Pilot, you probably won’t do well here. Money? If you’re bad with money in Canada, you’ll be even worse in Dubai. Just because you’re making more and not paying tax doesn’t mean you need a Mercedes G-Wagon. Don't sleep with the nanny. Healthcare? No long waits. So far, we haven’t waited more than 30 minutes for a doctor or dentist, and specialists are usually available next day. Is it perfect? No. Has it improved over the years? Yes.

Nice to hear something positive about the Dubai lifestyle at EK
