Emirates always win; pilots always lose. If we win something, they change the rules and everything goes back to "normal."
The roster system doesn't work for us; always for them. The upgrade thing? Well, if they feel the need for captains, they just go and hire some DEC. It is quicker and cheaper.
There is no sympathy for the f/o waiting his turn.
Housing? It is going to get worse, I am afraid.
Sorry, no good news
On the brighter side, we still have a job and they're still sticking the their expansion plans.
