Much better amigo!
I agree that all the folks out there who wish to come here are welcome. However, they must know that with time spent here, certain realities and facts of EK life must be known. These are not complaints but experience that comes from coming here myself "106 million"years ago as you put it, and also being in the honeymoon phase. Oh yes! Big time honeymoon my friend and esteemed colleague, I was over the moon to be here. Now having always been a very optimistic and positive person, I have become rather cynical. Why?
Simple really, I did not consider myself as a contract pilot when I came here 11 years ago (My fault). And now I look at how greed and fear motivation has set in with the whole set up here, that it concerns me very much. Hopefully our leaders will hear our concerns, but as has been proven time and time again, it falls on deaf ears. The standard reply is.....If you dont like it leave! Yes I would very much like too. And there are always options in life.
Okay!?
Time will tell! Once again, enjoy the honeymoon. Mine lasted 6 years!! I hope yours lasts for ever. And I sincerely mean that!
No hard feelings! I mean, after all we will at some point be sharing that little office of ours in the sky sometime! See Ya!
