Well Hallejulah, a post from Crinklstein that doesn't sound as though he's selling Moms Apple Pie.
Trouble is as a 'Johnny Come Lately' you have not witnessed the unnecessary and opportunistic erosion in lifestyle and standards occurring at EK in the last six years, an erosion that I suspect that you are part of (see my post 978).
Doubtless you are acquainted with your two fellow countrymen, both F/Os with EK for around three years, who have both decided that EK is no longer for them, both bypassed for command by countless B777 F/Os, accelerators and DECs such as yourself.
And I doubt that they and the other five on the 'out of here' list for July share your 'joy of life'.
