Obviously at EK you have no Union protection. I never said you didn’t. I was a BALPA member before and they were pretty useless for us.
Look at what happened at BA and Virgin. If you were on the wrong fleet at BA ie 747 it was tough luck. Completely different to what they were told that seniority was/is king at BA. Not anymore.
Yes EK is more of a risk but COVID should have taught you nowhere is solid.
I lost my job and had 0 help from BALPA. 0 help from UK government.
Still got to pay gas/electric/council tax etc even if you’re not earning.
