It is a poorly run company from a HR point of view and it will never change, just the nature of the beast. I peek in here very occasionally and have noticed all the squawkers (me included !) have left the site. I used to get worked up about the EK BS but realized one day that its just not worth the energy, EK is just not important enough. They hire from around the globe and you can be sure they will find who they are looking for out of 7 billion people!
Its been said here many times....be careful what you ask for...you just might get it! There are tons of jobs out there, the USA is begging for pilots. The Chinese have begun forcing some of their expatriate pilots on "indeterminate unpaid leave", I expect that the arabs will do the same in short order
There are those who are at EK and happy to stay...and those who left, and those who will
Good luck in your choice!
Are you happy you left because you left the company or because you left the middle east? Been in 3 different companies so far in Western Europe and I cannot help but relate to everything I read on these forums because it would seem the entire aviation industry is just ruined
