Just remember where you are based. EK dont give a rats arse about any incident or accident , the aircraft are insured so is passenger liability . The FOM is written in a way where the Captain will always take the blame . company collects insurance gets new aircraft life goes on. While a poor crew rots in prison because there is no union and really no legal protection. Its a real longshot that this could happen but the company will always be absolved from blame.
By making unions illegal , it not only stops strikes but also stops protection for workers, ie slaves never had any work protection throughout the centuries.
The quick command sounds great but just think what you are getting yourself into.
The salary at the moment is not worth leaving home for.
