Hammer, this is PPRUNE and as such, it is generally somewhere to come when your not happy about something and you want to vent. I don't think I know of a single post where someone has just come to say "WoW this is so great'.

There are pros and cons to every airline you look at joining. The longer you are anywhere the more the cons weigh on your shoulders because when you joined you accepted the baseline conditions as Ok and acceptable for you. Generally, it should be better than where you were since by definition the cons where you are are outweighing the pros or you wouldn't leave.

EK is no different, there are pros and cons. The longer you remain the more candid your thoughts become. In any company, this will happen, even with no changes made to the contract, little niggles thought of as nothing to start become sores after a few years. It is like a marriage, it's wonderful to start with but few are happy after many years.

Unfortunately, there are changes to the contract made regularly and your original baseline is eroded. One day you wake up in the morning and want to bite your arm off as you open your eyes.

Everyone has different reasons and needs. If it is better today and safer for you and your family, then come. Come with your eyes open though and not because you have been swayed by the shiny pictures in the glossy magazines.
