Xolon Im ex FR, left because I couldn't take the crap smoke and mirrors and the constant battle against management for a reasonable deal. Things have not changed from what I hear from friends still there and what I read. I am not unhappy with my company, and yes its EK. In fact I am very happy here
Every company has good and bad but FRs bad outweighs its good by far! I just had £11,500 bonus, a REAL 8.15% pay rise and I am not tired like I used to be in FR plus I earn more as an FO than I did as a captain. I honestly think you will see the light one day FR are all smoke and mirrors!
