I do agree EK needs a management style change and also an improvement of conditions compared to the world market. I can say that the issues brought up are valid and true. However, some comments are borderline offensive in this thread and others with regard to the mention of the nationalities of new joiners as if they are part of the problem. The South Americans and Malaysians and even the Americans have every right to be in Emirates as you do. They to have careers and family interests to take care of. Doesnt mean they are blind to the facts here. I am not. Lets not focus on them but address the real issue of the managment structure and policies that really need to be changed. An improvement is an improvement for everyone in the pilot body. Not just the 'first world' pilots.
Happy Landings. Mind the sand...
