You make it sound like a prison sentence, and for some it feels like that.

The departees for January include one Direct Entry Captain, he's been at EK for no more than a few months, also included is a Captain upgraded in the last six months, he's been in the company around four years.

Guess they've just done their time.

In simple terms the good points about Emirates that include modern equipment, a diverse network and possible early command no longer compensate for living in a rat trap, a management team that continue to attempt and to succeed in extracting more from the crews in return for less compensation bringing me onto the salary package that diminishes in buying power by around 10% per annum due to inflation and exchange rates and revisions in the way the crews are paid.

Forgot to mention that each month the resignation list also includes one or two recently joined F/Os. Just one for January. Guess he did his time.
