By all the negative posts towards EK it is quite obvious that many pilots are unhappy. BUT! Let's stick to the facts instead of talking garbage:
Fact. EK has about 1000 pilots and would like to have 2000. 1000 Capts/ 1000 FOs. Most Capts are 35-45. Few retirees. 3 years to upgrade?
T/C are constantly changing - unfortunately for the worse. Nothing you can do about it since you have a US$26000 bond + +,
Roster - Expect no more than 8-9 days off
pr. month and lots of flying with very little rest. (double rest/ minimum rest)
My advice - Unless you are desperately looking for a job. At least talk to somebody down there before joining.
