Fair point Austin, and taken on board.
The point is, I'm sick and tired of the aimless/pointless snipes taken at EK over things completely outside their remit........ Does the company piss me off over other issues within their control? Hell yes, but at least they are worthy of a good old moan!
I think this issue is also emdemic of the expat nicety lifestyle people have come to expect as a right. I agree that it is total CARnage outside the schools at pick up and drop off times, and will likely get worse if people are forced to drive their kids to school themselves, however (and I don't know where you are from), back home in Blighty, school busses generally don't exist, and similar carnage can be witnessed there every day...... same sh1t different country? (at least people still have a choice here, expensive as it might be)
