Dont put yourself on a pedestal, you're not a saint or anything.
Having been in EK many years, I am shocked at the 'potential' they attract now... the airline has literally turned into a flight school, scary for the passengers at back! Look at the teenager locals, flying a triple with a hand full of hours! no wonder there is so many issues on the line, read the ASRs, they are actually getting more and more ridiculous by the week! Training definitely relaxed since COVID in Emirates.
