Woodja,
Could you advise what it was that caused you to return to EK (from working in Oz I assume). Was it the company (meaning that EK was much better) or seeking a lifestyle that couldn't meet your expectations?
I ask b/c I was talking to a friend recently about those wanting to return to Oz (not me, well not yet!!) and we agreed that a lot of people would be seeking to work for an airline (and it's associated gr8 lifestyle) that is now a distant memory in the past. Don't get me wrong, living in Oz is a wonderful thing, but some of these new carriers that are talking about pilots flying 1000 hours a year to me suggests achieving that (dream) lifestyle could be challenging.
Thanks,
b.
