Just to give you the view of a soon to be ex-desk jockey:
At the HQ we chat a lot with guys from load controllers to fleet management and believe me, they are almost ALL p
off and shocked by the recent developments.
Off the record they admit the destruction AAR is causing, that includes management pilots!
The lower ranks are staying cause they have no alternative and the higher ones cause they got paid so much. At the moment colleagues with good qualifications are leaving i.e. Doctors and middle management but also lots of FOs, some of them going to less paid jobs just to get out of here.
What you will learn here very fast is that quality of living is much more important than money
I doubt its only 1% of EK who are posting here and I am still waiting to meet a happy EK pilot...btw I met them a year ago...the ones coming from real crappy outfits!
So good luck to the ones still determined to come here...you have been warned!
