I agree. This is what happens when people wrap their self identity with their equipment, title and status at their employer (exacerbated by an employer that is not conducive to a healthy work/life balance). If they end up at the bottom of another carrier will they insist their new superiors call them “captain”?! I wonder if those Qantas pilots turned bus drivers tell people to refer to them as “captain” in their new vocation? I’ve even seen people showing off their tattoos of 380s or 4 stripes which is not in any way sane. It’s a small minority but some EK egos are intense. This is not a healthy place to be mentally. I feel sorry for all those impacted regardless. This last year has shown there’s much more to life than your career.
