im not an EK pilot but would like to know if things genuinely improved or is that all just nonsense and it’s just as toxic as before or did EK realize they had a real problem and have made concerted efforts to right the ship so to speak in terms of making it a more pleasant place to work.
Does anybody else know EK pilots currently employed there who can confirm this?
Knowing personally, quite a few of the pilots that were let go, I would hardly describe them as dead wood. Some may have been unfortunate enough to have a load a long term illness in the past, that was enough to put a target on their back. There were other reasons also, but not because they were dead wood, as you call it.
