There is a lot work around. Most things must be better what you see goes on at EK. Just took a drive around town today and its absolutely dangerous on the roads (not only SZR). For the money (or lack of it) we get I would look elsewhere. What are the chances of being here for the next 10 yrs and NOT experiencing road rage, an accident (God forbid), being treated like a robot (as AAL says we are used to fatigue) and whinging about it without any change, being cheated by rising costs, VAT, wondering if your family is ok on the roads when you are on a layover......absolutely NIL! Leaving EK and living in the UK or Aust and flying 5 on 2 off, family happy, together, normal driving (to a degree) and home in your own country......doesn't seem so bad, does it? Would you rather work a few extra years making up the difference as opposed to playing russian roulette with work and my family's lives in this place. To tell us that we are guests in this country, they don't seem to be very good hosts. Good luck guys!
