While comparing the Villas to a concentration camp could certainly be viewed as extreme, (Concentration camps were not just a WWII German thing. That's just what most people envision when they hear those words.) I think most the complaints the pilots here make are pretty correct. If you interviewed 6 or more years ago, you were told what you could expect for pay and schooling and housing. These pilots are now flying in the left seat for right seat pay. In the past 6 years their contracts have been "adjusted" so many times its not funny. The "If you don't like it leave." attitude by the management is fine if you are leaving after 2 or 3 years from United to go to Delta. But most the pilots sold houses and cars and moved halfway around the world for a package they were offered. It takes 2 or 3 years just to break even on a move like that. So moving back home is rarely an option. If 1 or 2 of the "contract adjustments" were in the pilots favor, then perhaps there would be less complaining. But when you commit your family to Emirates, (and make no mistakes, that's what you are doing.) and you see your pay and benefits and housing consistently reduced while the company continues to make record profits, perhaps their gripes are worth taking notice of.
