I find many of the pilots I know who have left or are planning to are looking to get back home. EK has become intolerable for them and they look for an alternative. Pay doesn't matter anymore. They'll take a pay cut, commute etc. In most cases pay is as good or better than EK as well!

Where on earth is the pay and package better than EK for a new joiner or DEC?
If such a job existed in Europe I'd be there in a shot, but until that happens the plan is to send as much money home so I don't have to worry too much about working in the future. I can't see any opportunities in the western world for the foreseeable future unfortunately.
