MR8 has said it in a nutshell.
For those that can't read pilot speak, what he said was
"I'm all right, bugger the rest of you".
For anyone that is in any doubt, that is the prevailing attitude at EK, and probably most expat jobs.
It is also one explanation as to why you get such differing opinions on Pprune about EK. There is a vast disparity between fleets and individuals on the amount of work done and the amount of pay received.
Some are happy with their lot and speak highly, some are really p***ed off and run the place down. Both are right, but it is the inability or the unwillingness of many to understand the next guys situation that helps management implement the "divide and conquer" theory, that is so widespread in our industry.
I think you will find that is one reason why our profession is going down the toilet and it is not likely to change any time soon.
