I do not see us (CX) losing many if any to EK. From what I have read and heard, it is not a great place to work and IT IS IN THE MIDDLE EAST! They could pay millions and I would not go. Also, we have at least one EK captain who is an S/O here. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU! They have to rasie the pay and they are still having trouble getting and retaining crew.
