Go to the portal and see how many Capts and FO' s come up when you put SK in as a duty. If you've been here long enough, check your log book 4,6 or 8 years back and see if you were working this hard. They made money back then didnt they, and the pay was (relatively) competetive by world standards. CX are going to hire DE FO's onto the pax fleet this year and if you check their payscales and accomodation allowance they are way ahead of a EK captain. As for where we all came from, pardon my arrogance but I always thought "experience" and time with the company ("loyalty") were worth paying for. If not, make all cadets 380 captains tomorrow and I'll go to the beach!
