There is one constant in EK:
The Goods and Services you can purchase for each hour of work put in for EK has got less each year for the past decade.
This sums up EK's productivity policies, inflation, dirham decline and all the rest.
Never forget there are hundreds in EK's admin dedicated to this very task. Some are also extremely competant in this area. Its not likely to change any time soon. So stop wishing for some miracle.
We can mash out the numbers and statistics anyway we want but the constant remains the same
