Luke,
Spot on!. I left EK seven years ago and in some respects regret doing so. I do remember the pilots being treated like gods - picked up to go to "work" and back, best of the villas etc. Are pilots never happy? A lot seem to think they are above everyone else in the airline industry. The guy that dumps the lavs is as important as the pilot (how many flights will depart with full waste tanks?) and frankly deserve a lot more.
So, flyboys, take a reality check! Strike at EK? First flight home!!
Every time I fly I wonder what sort of mentality is in charge up front (at least during take-off). Fair degree of confidence when AFCS is in command.
