yes, my hubby is still a DEC with EK. Believe me, he too had his time of pursuing the captain's seat and had disappointments as well, but as a few people have pointed out, if you get the opportunity to get a DEC position, who is going to turn it down. We needed it for our family and I am sorry for those who feel that he has "taken" what was theirs, but that is life. I'm sorry too that you feel I have an "attitude" but I truly get annoyed at some of the posts posted sometimes.
I am not trying to lure anyone here - what for. It just irks me sometimes when the truth is stretched to look worse than it is. why? what is the idea behind some people biting the hand that feeds it, continually. It's not good and I know that there is no-one that you can go to with grievances without jeopardising your job, but we knew that before we came here and we accept it.
Ek is a great life for some and those who are unhappy here, must also realise that and not only see their side all the time without shooting down anyone who says that they are happy.
We are happy here - for sure there are some things that could be improved on but for us our glass is half full.
