It think( well sometimes
) that some of our newer colleagues do think Emirates is a step up. And I honeslty believe that they think everyone is as happy as they are.
EK does have its positives for sure , and the big one is that the pay check, however small, is always in the bank on time and it's a safe bet that it will continue to hit you bank account on the same day each month for the foreseeable future.
As for the rest of the cr*p, well I'm just kinda resigned to the fact that rest of it is !!!! and will continue to be thus until I get out.
