I'm not a moaner and I often defend the company here against some of the rampant bs that people spread but i would be lying if I didn't say there were some realities to living here. It's a fine job, but after 16 years, I am desperately seeking the motivation to stay - it would just be nice to see some 'give' from management after all of the 'take'. Otherwise I'm gonna pull the pin on my covid escape plan and they can pay for 2 pilots' training to replace me.
The old age trouble of where is the grass greener. I’m at that point of pushing 40.
Is a legacy worth it?
Is it better to go with a LCC smashing out 4 sectors day after day?
Is it better to go ME carrier be sensible and bank some ££€€$$?
Have to choose what feels best for me right.
I know a guy who did 15 years at EK and only stopped because he had to. Loved every minute of it and goes back to Dubai almost every other month.
Others last a year and can’t cope.
Run away never to return.
Back to salary/packages I can’t see anywhere bumping up much if at all. Jet2 crew have been given some sort of raise but that’s the only one I know of and still below inflation.
