There's a handfull of BA people here. I talked with one about it, he mentioned the weather.

There were a couple from LH, one had been sacked and ended up here via somewhere else. He never made the left seat and after a few years he was sacked from here too. The other resigned when he was passed over twice for upgrade, it turned out the same had happened to him at LH.

Don't know of any from AF.

Yes there are some of the above mentioned pilots in the sand but I wouldn't say "more than a few". There is one LH pilot but he has Yellow Fever no AF that I can find and yes the Brits are always easy to get to leave their tiny little island but most of the BA pilots are the ones that took their large pensions and joined us in the sand, TCAS being the most illustrious example.

Let's not forget all the USAir pilots that came as FO's without a pension, are they all heading back to the US?

Ps flown with more than 1 from LH and AF.

Proper LH/AF mainline? Or second/third tier Express department with no particular benefits?

My previous Company is irrelevant. I work for EK now and intend to for another 10 years, health permitting. I left because the overall lifestyle and package was, and still is better then my previous Airline. Anything wrong in that?

Your previous employer was obviously better than EK hence your constant anger and frustration vented on these forums. Not once, ever, have I read anything positive on your posts about EK.

Your obvious monumental f**k up at leaving your previous employer has haunted you for years. You criticise those trying to improve their lot while in reality it is you who's become a joke on these forums with your bitter diatribes. Meanwhile, friends and colleagues of yours enjoy the lifestyle you yearn back in the good old US and it eats away at you. You moan at home, in the Company transport and on the flight deck. I know exactly who you are and can't believe you still live here.

If you weren't such a jerk on these threads I might actually feel sorry for you.

Sent from my tiny Island

FlyingTinCans,

I would like to hear what other pilots , in your ME airlines , have to say about security , life style , rostering , fatigue etc...
We all understood it suits you and that's fine but it is far to be the case for everybody.

We can not expect the feelings coming from a quite junior turbo-prop F/O or a very senior jet captain to be the same about ME carrier as what they have to gain is totally different.
I think that this plays a big part in the very wide range of comments , positive and negative , we are getting on this website.
A pilot coming from the right seat paid 25000 US/per year has a lot to gain here and most probably will be happier.

About the situation in Europe , it really depends again where and with who you talk ( junior F/O joining or an almost retired captain )
And by the way , ask the new second officers in your company what they had to do and pay to join and what will be their salary and for how long they will be bonded ( if they dare to tell you the truth ) and you will see that we are at least as good that the one in Europe...
