atiuta, Not sure what your angle is here. My comments were regarding making personal choices. I made my choice - you obviously made yours to live the EK dream in DXB.
I accept the JQ NZ deal is not good - but the truth of the matter is JQ NZ has provided great opportunities for young pilots in NZ to fly an Airbus many of whom had no previous commercial experience. Its all about lifestyle and personal choices. Nobody is forcing anyone to accept a job.
