Yep - horror stories abound! Yep - rosters are cr@p Yep - it's damn hot in the summer;

But, after 8 years at EK I still enjoy the flying. Great people to fly with from many different places. Good variety (ok - India 6 times a month at night is bl00dy hard work), all the new kit, yep - shiny aeroplanes (makes a change from 30 year old Barons)etc...

As for family life - my wife and kids are more than happy! If you come here 'eyes wired shut' then you'll struggle Homework is a simple thing! Seems to me like many don't do it...

I could also tell you that many, many guys and girls are quite cheerful here - just from chatting on the line! You will get the sad sacks like LHR Rain, SheikhmyArse and so on, but that's life... Oh yeah - where's Mensaboy when we need him LOL

I'll be accused of 'rose tinted specs' but I had that many years ago when I joined EK EYES WIDE OPEN
