Bound for Dubai:-
I have yet to meet a "cowboy" from BA,VS,they are consumate professionals,in every case.There are many "groups" here,some came through choice,most infact,others because they needed a job.None will retire on 200K pa.
You however,go and put your anorak back on,and get back to sharpening your pencils.
SecurID:- Very eloquently,put.
Any pilot,here in EK,who believes they do not need,insurance cover,are either tight fisted beyond belief,or naive in the extreme.
A330 man,part from your pastime of thong watching,what do you do IF,you are rostered 95-100 hrs,each month,without choice?
If rostered,you do the work,you get the hours,the money,I cant see how you avoid unless sick?
With the new system,that wont be a problem,however.
