There are certain professions that work their night and days to provide uncompromised service to the population. Well, one such profile is of a pilot. A day filled with celebrations seems less for the amount of dedication they provide to help us travel safely to our destinations. So today in order to honour their devotion to the aviation industry, Emirates has wished their 4,000 pilots & more on World Pilot Day.

The majority-expat pilot community of the Emirates enjoys residing in and working in a cosmopolitan atmosphere. They are accompanied by coworkers from over 170 different nationalities that are representative of its hub, Dubai. They get a competitive tax-free wage, ample housing space, an education expense, and good dental, medical, and life insurance. All are provided to pilots. They also benefit from laundry services, 42 days of annual vacation, yearly leave tickets, and concessionary cargo. Their family enjoy the benefits like cheap travel privileges, chauffeured transportation to and from work and a lot more.
Sounds quite luxurious but we say they deserve this all! They are the ones who put in their time and effort and missed several important things in their lives.
