I would be dishonest if I said HR did not care about my reasons for leaving. I received a phone call from one of the HR ladies and we had a pleasant and professional conversation. She asked me what EK could have done to keep me there. I simply told her that they should open bases overseas, and let PBS build our rosters, with no manual insertions. I mentioned to her that there was no reason for them to restrict pilots' days off. She understood but said that unfortunately those decisions are made above her pay grade. In the end she was kind enough to offer for me to reapply whenever I wanted to come back. I though it was thoughtful. My 2 cents.

Since decisions come from the top, executioners have to put them into effect. In order to do that, they have to be - executioners. Cold, cruel, without ethics or morale. Their only fault is that they are prepared to do it.
Here's the message for the top:
Sorry for the off topic.

I left EK in March and never got an exit interview, box was just ticked half way through the leaving process. Can't say I was surprised, they know exactly why people are leaving so why bother wasting each other's time.
I have to say though the whole leaving process was very easy and simple. I found it quite sad that the most efficient department in the whole company are the end of service team. 2 helpful ladies on the desk in the ESC, always had the right answers and better suggestions etc.
Back flying solar powered aircraft again now and feeling healthy again.
Good bye Yesterday....

Congratulations tornadof3raf! I know exactly how you feel. I left in March of '14. That was just at the beginning of the looming mass exodus we are seeing today. I think they're severely understaffed, which would explain their lack of exit follow ups. There is simply not enough time and not enough HR people. I am very thankful to have left enjoying my time at EK. It saddens me to read about how people feel about the airline today. I sincerely think Emirates will follow the footsteps of Gulf Air if not checked.
