Lets face it Emirates is really only structured the same as a short term Contract job and not a career job and this favors the DEC program.
A DEC with 6 months service has all the privileges and more of a 10 year plus Captain.....Roster Bidding, Leave Bidding, Housing, Staff Travel, Salary etc,etc.
Seniority, length of service, loyalty,sacrifice,moral all mean absolutely nought to Emirates management.
The sooner crews take the same approach and treat Emirates as the short term contract job it has become the better for all. Fly Emirates... leave...fly elsewhere...return...leave again...what have you really lost, just the pain in your rump
