No lectures required about unity here Pam. Plenty of pilots in EK that have exercised their legal rights of representation in the past. For whatever reason, they then chose to leave that protection behind and become an expatriate contract pilot.
That's all we are and I do not require or expect anything from my colleagues other than a professional work ethic.
On the subject of FR pilots (or any breed for that matter) and making sense of it all. Wouldn't it be ironic if an FR DEC were to join and fly with an ex FR pilot that is now an EK FO, but had once been a DEC with FR with the first individual as the FO!
Make sense of that and try to find some sympathy.
