Like it or not Aviation is now globalized industry. No different than textiles, IT, Automotive, Manufacturing etc etc etc. Before complaining about unfair competition and how ALPA needs support to stop Emirates or other carriers from "taking their jobs" each member should check the "Made In" tag on everything that they own and if it doesn't say "Made In America" ask themselves what they have done to support other American industries that have been globalized.
FYI Captain Delta 26year blah blah blah... nobody cares about your professional dedication. Since we don't have the cover of a collective group I can guarantee that every pilot that works for EK is at least as competent but more than likely far more qualified than you as our route structure is far more demanding and we are only as good as our last flight.
Finally passengers don't care about your job. They care about great service and cheap fares.Time to wake up like a lot of your fellow countrymen who work here.
