It's been a while since my last post here at the pool thread. Completed a year in the pool recently and got the news to join this september. After looking at my present situation and the pros/cons of leaving my current employment (P1 narrowbody ) and other factors , I had to decline the offer.
It was a difficult decision to make considering that EK is one of the major airlines in the world and an opportunity like this may not present itself very soon in the near future.
Funny thing is the other selected pilots from my group have also turned down the offer due to various reasons . It's a shame really 'coz I was really looking forward to joining after the interview in Dubai.
Best of luck to all of you and my only suggestion to those in the pool, do look at your situation properly ...EK might work for you if your situation requires it , a decision to join is entirely case- specific.For all those in EK giving us the low-down , thank you for your time.
masalama.
