Out of interest, where are they accommodating pilots with a family these days?

Thank you ladies for your replies. We have looked at pprune and not sure if this going to be a good move....but then again where is aviation is a good move! We have lived in Dubai before and love it and are well aware of the pitfalls, but life is not always greener on the other side. Thank you again ? HI dxbrw. We have just moved earlier on this year to DXB. My hubby is on the 777 roster. So far its been ok. I think its nice as there is a mixture of long haul flights and turn arounds. Average month he has had around 11 days off at home and that does not include rest days or turn around days. With regards to other long-haul airlines in the UK I think the rosters are fine and its just a hazard with the job. as you know. I have been quite happy so far with EK. In the UK it was always just long haul and could be away for a long time. He has only had one very long trip when he was away for 5 days on a SIN-BNE-SIN. There are a couple of long trips like this but he has had 1 in 6 months. Hope this helps Hi catty85, Thank you for your message, it is always nice to hear a positive from someone actually experiencing it. I am always opens to opinions and have been looking at pprune as it has been suggested. Nice to hear both sides. Thank you again

Thanks Cherry ripe, but I wanted to get a wives perspective not a pilots perspective
