Short answer to the original question of happiness at EK is no.
Just completed a ULR, the U standing for Ultra, and all four flight deck, including a new joiner inside 6 months, are looking to leave. The cabin crew were dropping like flies with illness as well due fatigue.
It is sad the way this company has gone and the managers should be ashamed of themselves for developing the situation of the last two years. From the best to one of the worst is such a short time
There is little doubt what is coming as the rosters keep hitting the 100hr mark with the mix of time zone, back of the clock flying we have to do and lack of time off to recover, let alone have a life.
Unfortunately, we are not alone as engineering, cabin crew, ground staff etc are pushed to breaking point as well.
The sooner the better for me, and that will leave yet another position for the rose coloured glasses brigade.
The swiss cheese is lining up and blind Freddie can see that, but management unfortunately cannot.
