I think the ones that can fly don't like the rosters so don't apply.

I know many good guys who I directed to QR and told them stay away from EK and all have listened to me and not applied here.. I wouldn't be a good friend if I recommended this airline the way things are at the moment..

The EFATO is far too challenging to give new recruits these days.....
Apparently talking to a recruitment guy the other day, now if they fail the sim but pass everything else, we will take them.

Which is very unfair on those applying. To be given a job offer. Resign from a job, relocate the family, and then not be successful with the course is life changing.
Unfortunately it is happening more now than before.

I think the production quality of both adverts is appalling. The two guys involved are so blatantly reading straight from a script that it sounds false enough to think they've got a gun held against their heads as they read. Also, I'm no expert but I always thought kite surfing needed a spot of wind (as opposed to VRB/0) and I'm pretty sure surfing involves waves instead of mill pond conditions. If EK are going to try and give any credibility at all to the lies they're selling then they could at least get the very basics correct......and that starts with the believability of the lifestyle that's getting pedalled in these ads.

Totally agree. The production of these videos are poor. The pilots are talking via script, which is fine, but it doesn't sound genuine at all. It's as if they know they are talking crap (and we know they are).

I wonder if those two guys actually sell EK to their friends like they are trying to sell it to the public?? The 380 guy maybe as life is great there but the 777 guy???? How can you sell these 95-105 hr inhumane rosters through the night to all the ****e holes we fly to with only like 7-8 days off a month???

If it makes you guys feel any better, some of the spoof videos generated by his mates are absolutely priceless and had me snorting coffee all over my phone.
Have a look in the usual places and you'll find them.

Sealear is right about one thing. This whole industry sucks.
The good old days are long gone. Treated worse than bus and train drivers now....
Partly because bus and train drivers are not willing to undercut their colleagues pay, and definitely don't pay their employers to work for them.
P2F and LCCs have killed this profession.
By the way, for any young gun hour builders or wide-body wannabes that tell me to leave and make way for them.... Thank you for proving my point.

I can't understand why anyone would want to do this for a career these days.
Of course it could just be working in this part of the world. Sometimes I think about working in civilization again and somewhere deep, deep down I feel a glimmer...
