But that option isn't available to any but a very small percentage of the population- INCLUDING a huge number of US pilots who had no option then to take the terrible conditions offered by the regionals as they were the only jobs going, thanks largely to the cowardice of the pilots at the majors, and indeed for them EK was a huge step up.
Question is, why do you think it appropriate to boast about it, while denigrating those less fortunate than you?
I am at a US legacy, and would much rather be at EK. No bragging here. I can't wait to meet a few of the EK pilots that were just hired here in the last few months. I would really like to know what they were thinking...
