ERJ145Flyer...
How can you agree with fatbus? I mean, if you're not working here at EK, how can you have a valid opinion about how things work here?
Ok, your colleagues might be better paid then you are. Ever wondered how that's possible? Maybe they have a lot more experience then you? Maybe they made a right choice early in their career? Anyhow, you shouldn't complain about how much other people earn, you should strive to get the same.
And what makes you more qualified then they are? If you were, you would probably in their seat, earning their money.
After this post I have an opinion about you (which might be wrong): You look like a frustrated regional jet flyer, probably bounced of the mainline after Sept 11. You will do anything to fly the big nice shiny jets, even bend over and take it hard (no vaseline provided). Because of your frustration, you can't see the struggle people here at EK have, and thus you can not sympathise with us.
I really hope you will get a job out here as a F/O. You might even prove to me what you're really worth should we end up in a typhoon. middle of the night in Hyderabad, or in a thunderstorm around Addis... But most of all, I wish you won't change your name here on pprune after you join EK (should you have the chance..) It's always funny to see how the wannabees change their mind after about a year in Fantasyland.. And, yes, me too, I'm guilty of that!!

Yes, I am a frustrated regional jet flyer, and I have been trying to move on to the shiny jets for a very long time.... Is that wrong? You know the industry and the slow down, and sir, I do have the PIC JET time (military and civil) and no, I am not like you put it....bounced of the mainline, never had the chance to get there... you were just lucky to be at the right place when the wheel of time was turning. So, there is no need to use low language, just as you have your opinion, I have mine. Again, yes I did not get there yet, but I know of other people working with EK who are happy. And I do look forward to flying with you in any situation....because you will have the opportunity to really know me, then make your opinion. Finally, if it is so bad, why are you still there, have you applied somewhere else....hmm...Cheers!
