Be Careful What You Wish For.

The Three Groups at EK

1/ Been here more than four years, they remember the good times, a large group but proportionally a low rate of postings. Tend to shut up and now increasingly to get out.

2/ Been here less than four years, now disillusioned they joined on the strength of EKs previously fine reputation. Proportionally a high rate of negative postings, but now here, will probably stay for hopeful command and then consider their options.

3/ DECs, a small group that doesn't fit in. Proportionally quite a high rate of postings, trying to justify their decision and their position at EK.

So, the most vocal group is the new joiners. Anybody thinking of joining be aware of that.

Also be aware that as EK takes on more DECs, career prospects for First Officers will decline. This is already happening.

What if the complaining new joiners had not joined?

Maybe the company would have been obliged to review the package. Maybe instead of a declining package, an improved package would have been in place by now.

By joining you become part of the problem, by staying away, at least for the time being, you might be part of the solution.

For the people already here it will get worse before it gets better.

Fact. More people have resigned in the last year than in the ten previous years. In an attempt to disguise this the company have recently removed the facility on the internal computer network that displays resignations.

Remember no, repeat, no representation at Emirates. They only understand people voting with their feet, either by leaving or not coming in the first place.
