Do you actually believe what you've just written. Is that really how you see yourself, just merely better qualified than a 700dhs a month manual worker? I wonder why 'our' Company sees fit then to offer you a package worth 100 times what that poor chap gets.
We may not be the major cogs in the system and there are undoubtedly less employment safeguards than other more developed economies granted. But, assuming you're a Captain, your attitude is poor. Your behaviour and leadership style will affect and resonate on all those around you. Act like a professional and you'll be treated like one. Stop dumbing down the profession and the Company that, up until now, has probably provided a good standard of living for you and your family. You can choose to embrace life here or not, it's your choice. Doing the former makes life so much easier on yourself and those that have to fly with you. Stop deriding fellow colleagues for having pride and satisfaction for working at this Company and enjoying what they do. If you really feel that embarrassed to be working for EK or in the ruthless ME, you always have the choice to leave. Sadly, not an option for the low salaried and less educated.
And before the usual and yawningly obvious response of 'management' and 'kool aid', neither of which apply, maybe two thoughts. Firstly, how many pilots have been dismissed for transgressions under SVP JA? The Company knows it's not good publicity and, contrary to your beliefs, if it wants to maintain recruitment and standards, will attempt to ensure pilots are retained. There is a shortage of suitably qualified pilots and the Company is acutely aware of this. Fact! Secondly, where do you see your salary and hours worked in relation to other professions. Google it, you may be shocked, pleasantly so.
Whether it will change your attitude though is another matter altogether!
