In the last few years I have worked as a packer in a factory
Would that have been a fudge factory?
Sorry, that was too easy of a set-up.
Your point, though, is well taken. There are a lot of people at Emirates who came from failed or failing carriers. They don't tend to be the ones on Pprune doing the complaining. If they are, then they have conveniently forgotten the alternative. We all wish for fairness and better terms and conditions, that is only natural. We would also like to share in the success, or at least keep up with inflation. At the end of the day though, this is one of the best jobs out there. That says more about the state of the airline pilot profession than it does about Emirates.
