I have to say that I know of two or three people who have been off sick long term who have nothing but good things to say about the way they were treated by management. I don't know any details of the case of the pilot who broke his leg and I don't know if policy has changed over the last month ot two, but give credit where it's due - right up to the very recent past, EK management have gone well beyond what the contract says in looking after pilots who were ill.
To balance my bouquet with a brickbat, I'd have to agree with the comment above regarding the Provident Fund's (non)performance. Looking at average market performance over the last few years, I can't believe the poor returns my A and B accounts have achieved.
