The old Boy Scout motto, "Be Prepared", is worth remembering here. Always be prepared to have terms and conditions changed for the negative. Be prepared for consequences of an unintentional mistake, ie, be prepared for the firing, the downgrade, the upgrade being delayed or never happening. Be prepared for the inane politics of the company and local paperwork mill. Be prepared for the wife being fed up with husband being away and the wife turning into a single mother.
It's been said many times before. This airline is so close to being one of the best jobs in the industry, but there seems to be some mindset that it just can't or won't happen. Just a few years ago yes....today no.
Just be prepared for one's expectations not being met/fulfilled and be prepared for the unexpected both from our city state and from our company. But above all, be prepared never, ever to embarress the EK brand logo or name in any form.
