Aero , that was never the case at EK and any thar thought otherwise were either naive or just plain stupid . 17 + years , you either live with it or move on. Age 65 or 35 no difference. A very small % are vocal on pprune and Dubai pilot BBQ talk has not changed since 2007. The infamous 92 hour change . Prior to that ask Airbus guys how things were and for that matter even the 777 had it good .
as someone said pprune is peace to come and cry . I add to that, a place to have a laugh .
