W**K*r Yes here I am WK. Now you admit to being a "Peeping Tom" as well as your other attributes. In view of your immaturity I think that when ( and if ) EK ever decide you are suitable for Command that you initially prove yourself on the A310 Freighter for say 5/10 years as I don't think you should be let loose with Passengers and Cabin Crew.
Gypsy You are of course correct in what you say but I disagree about Pilot Mobility. I think that is getting less and less and depends wholly on what Aircraft you are not only Rated on but actually Current on in most cases. That lack of Mobility is why huge numbers of Pilots are not leaving EK or SQ or any of the rest ,just a trickle even if slightly more than before.
The problem Airlines have is getting Pilots to join in the first place. Unless it is financially better than what you have at home why drag your family halfway around the world for an uncertain future where you have no Employment rights whatsoever and where all airlines that employ ex-pats can and do change T & C's whenever they feel like it!
