Recessions come and go. They always have. So will this one!
NO MATTER WHAT EK PAY - join them at your PERIL!
I know guys who joined EK in the early and mid 90's when the deal looked MUCH more attractive than it does now. They all went for fast command, big bucks and a good life style. Are they ever sorry now!! Without an exception, they'd all rather have stayed with their own country's airline if they could turn the clock back.
Most are divorced and starting their lives again - some doing something else for a living! I wont even go into what it's done to their families! Kids that are rootless and unstable and some even drug addicts!
And you STILL want to go to the desert? Good luck to you - you'll need it!
EK management - YOU are the ones being monitored! My bet is your silence will be deafening!
You have shown absolutely NO RESPECT for your pilots or their family's well-being and that is why I and many others will NEVER fly for you!
