You see Hans these people cannot stand the fact that people like you and I have a life. They sit around in huddled groups and convince one another that things are SOOOOO bad, however as you stated they don’t leave. We point that out to them and they answer some other nonsense. Nowhere to go…… rubbish. Take a look at the latest flight. Plenty jobs there. Deep down they enjoy it here but this is their perverse way of trying to get management to believe we are going to have a max exodus of drivers and so have to pay us more. Great tactic, if it worked. Truth is it doesn’t. Anyone with slightly more than a high school diploma and pilots license would realise this. What it does is convince other worthy people out there that EK is not an alternative and therefore some good blokes are missing out. A very selfish attitude. Yes we should get paid more, yes we should perhaps fly less, yes I’m happy in my job and enjoy where I live.
Bite me.
