The Stockholm syndrome is very strong in EK Pilots and you only realize this once you're a year or two removed from it.
NEGOTIATING? When has anything been negotiated in the ME? You don't negotiate with this company. There are no table openers to give and take. Be realistic man. The only give and take is.....you give, they take. Oh, and is there a committee that will represent pilots' wishes? Who elected the negotiation team? Contract study group? Informational picketing? ID lanyards stating, "I support the EPA" (Emirates Pilot Association)?
But also stating that going is a waste of a day off, is the same folly. Having worked in management before many of you were born, if a meeting such as this is called and no one came......"well they're not as upset/mad whatever as the noise makers on the Prune make it seem".
