That's where EK is going. We are trapped in DXB during the steaming hot summer because the Managers ( that are away on leave) have miscalculated the required number of crews, alternatively did not manage to recruit any due to the extremely poor package that is on offer.
Any wannabe must consider that we are not allowed to leave base on days off ( if you have more than 2 consecutive) without asking permission from fleet management... Pretty hard to believe isn't it? I have been in EK between 8 and 10 years, and morale has never been worse, every F/O I fly with tend to complain from start to finish.Especially the ones that have to use up savings to pay the bills are worried and regretful about their move to the airline that calls itself "The Finest in the Sky"... Even the local dudes are unhappy with the company and the clown that was sent from engineering to "manage" the pilots.
Stay away from EK, it is run in a very unprofessional way and the financial package is totally inadequate.
Stay in Europe!
