No I do not work at Emirates, but have been asked twice in the last two months to attend a "selection programme". No where is utopia and the EK F/Os do have some very valid concerns, especially those who have had their upgrades delayed by the DEC folks. I guess going from a Jungle Jet to a triple 7 would seem like utopia. After about 6 months it is just an airplane.
I do not doubt that there may be some issues, and I did not post any questions here. All I said is, in my opinion, for those who do not like it, should quit and go to their respective countries and get the better pay, schedules, life style, etc, etc.... Like someone said earlier, it is not for everybody. And yes, there are happy people there and they have answered my questions. Also, yes this is a public forum, and it is not just a one way forum mister... so I say chap..
