Lets face it, most airline pilots are a bunch of whinging bastards coz the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!!
As yet I haven't been shot at since I have flown for EK, the water has been warm, the beer cold and life has been good.
When you decide where to go you have to decide whether the pull factors outweigh the push factors. If they do, you can go; when they don't you leave. For me not having 6 million people in my lift outwighs the fact that some people I speak to shake their heads when they are saying yes.
It is a personal decision. If money is what you are after get a green card. At EK the Aussies whine a lot coz they have better beaches. The Brits think its great coz their weather sucks and the South Africans have no where else to go. Bottom line is that CX vs EK is an entirely personal decision that only you can make.
Doesn't help at all; sorry. I'm happy, others aren't.
