I agree, why would you come too EK if your current roster is 40-50 hours a month (that’s directly quoted from an Etihad pilots roster).
They’re currently in the best job, fulltime pay with part time hours. I made the wrong choice of airline it seems.
I wonder if I could go on secondment to Etihad now.
The only reason I could see pilots coming to EK is to gain enough experience and leave or return home to another job. EK is not the place to be.
