I find it amusing to read these same magenta pilots writing on this forum asking where to eat in Dubai , no doubt bringing the wife and kids to Dubai for a week of shopping malls , 600 dirham brunches, skydiving and desert tours all convincing themselves that Dubai is just the place for them.
Standards always have dropped AFTER the writer of the post was hired. Face it, EK never was, and never will be the first choice of airline for 99% of the candidates. You can’t blame it on the new joiners, certainly shortly after COVID, as they might have been out of work as well.
