Hello Pontius,
I have been with EK for almost nine years. Still enjoying my time here, however, I would prefer to be based somewhere else (home) and continue flying for EK. The reason for my statement, is a Family one. Kids getting older, etc....! BA is a National Carrier, and you're at home, where you are king or queen!! Excuse the pun!! Money and benefits with EK are good if you do not live and pay for things in Dubai.
Stick with BA.
Regards
