What's wrong with that? If they are happy to pay with soul and health for as long as they can hack it, take the endorsement, command hours and as much money and poon as they can get, then good luck to them. EK deserves no better. Look at the housing rental scene, arabs would rather leave a place vacant than reduce the rent to market value. Same at EK and things will never change, no matter how tight it gets for the company, so pilots may as well take what they can get until it no longer suits them. A lot of pilots here seem to struggle with the fact that they are lied to so much. If they accept that most of what they're told re contract and conditions (and life in general) is probably bull**** and won't change, and adjust their outlooks and long-term plans accordingly, then they might sleep easier and be happier. EK is an excellent training system for better jobs elsewhere if and when they come up.
