Really, guys would leave a LHS B 777 in EK and go fly 4-5 sector days with another abusive employer?
There are few options. Globally, airline employers are hostile to their pilots. Degrading their lifestyles. Ruining their health.
I don't want ultra long haul exposure to cancer causing radiation, especially on repeated trans polar routes. I don't want 4-5 sector 12 hour days. Neither do I want 6 day repeated night duties.
Shucks. I guess I'll just retire .
