ahhh, now you're all making the same mistake in thinking that the airline gives a s**t about you. You're just a bum in a seat.
Nothing more nothing less.
EK management couldn't care less whether the flight/cabin crew are happy or not, all they want is for the a/c to go on time and full of pax.
Forget a pay rise, there are enough people waiting in the wings (no pun intended) who believe that this co. is the holy grail of airline jobs, BIG mistake.
...ahhh I feel better now, cold beer and valium do wonders out here.
