I was booked BKK-DAR with ET this year.. was excited to see what this world-class airline is all about... but the second i got on board, it already felt like i was in 3rd world Africa... the seat row letters didn't correspond with ticket letters... the headphones were the same ones you'd get on flights in the 80s, where YOU had to put the foam earcovers on the frame before using them... i had to pilfer thru 5 seatbacks til I found a pair that weren't cracked or the audio worked. The entertainment system would be awesome if you lived in the 80s. I know we are spoiled nowadays but can't believe how little i got for how much i paid ET... compared to other airlines that actually are world-class. ET having great pilot training isn't a reason why pilots normally want to join an airline, that's a given... but having a decent schedule is what pilots look for when applying at world-class airlines... like Emirates/Qatar.
