Could it be that many (or at least some) of the comments here with negative waves are actually from folks who have approached, and been rejected from, EK?
Perish the thought.
Now, when you do apply for a job, any job, you are asking for work.
Is it not then reasonable to expect the airline, when they hire the pilots, to expect those pilots to actually adhere to the terms and conditions, even if one of those conditions means sitting/resting in suitable crew rest areas?
Augmented/double crews have been used for years, so get used to it.
However, if on the other hand, some already at EK, and don't like the 'factoring', have a clear path...quit, and find other employment.
Been done before...
