N38,
The situation is generally worse for the middle managers at EK than it is for the flight deck crew. Wages substantially lower, longer working hours, less benefits. Year on year the salaries are getting eroded due to the high cost of living. If you want to survive you need a position where you can travel a huge amount to get extra money through your per diems.
You will also get involved in the politics of this organisation and the Indian Maffia that seem to control everything.
The issues that the flight deck face are the same as for everyone.
