<<....but no point complaining. It falls on deaf ears anyway>>

Apparently it does, tic, the company can see through these guys, and so can many others.
This 'fatigued' business is just a red herring.
The EK guys joined expecting a rose garden in the middle east, and now they find a weed patch.
Then, along comes 'long haul' and I suppose they thought it was like the old days, Atlantic Barons with very long layovers.
Well, they now find out the way airlines are managed these days...you gotta work for the wages, and sometimes the hours are long indeed.
Nothing new of course, but these EK guys are getting an education, and apparently it is not to their liking.

When they applied to EK, they were asking for work, and now that they have found it, flying the shiny new jets, they can do nothing but complain.
Awww, the poor babies
