That is a fact of an expat lifestyle. Once again, not EK's exclusive domain.
I knew what I was getting into once I left home. So did every other expat pilot, actually, pretty much EVERY expat. These are the choices we make. This is a choice you made as well. It sucks major ass, but it is what we chose. And EK pilots are not the only ones who are homesick.
You gotta do better than that to make the EK life stand out as a unique sh*tshow.
