Hans:
100 a month 3-5 sectors a day then indeed EK may seem a great deal better. The fact that you were abused at your last airline however does not excuse the fact that you can be treated the way EK treats its pilots, it is simply not an argument for the way things have deteriorated here. Using the same logic you will one day leave EK to your next job when things are bad enough until that too deteriorates to the same level.
Not not all airlines were and are like the ones you experinced but perhaps this is as good as it can get for you. However if the trend continues EK will work you 900+ hrs/year, rosters will make home life impossible and fatigue will become a flight safety/health issue. How will the job be then?
I doubt you have worked in Europe. The airlines in there pay very well and adhere to JAR rules and regulations & you invariably have a union to protect you from arbitary changes to Ts & Cs.
I am happy that you are feeling secure with your International Airline. I just don't think it is a secure as you.
