Harry where do you see yourself in relation to other Widebody pilots? That is the only real question. Let's compare apples to apples. Just so you don't have to google it we as Emirates pilots don't measure up.
Yes I am better than 99% of the worlds population. After all if you make $70,000 a year you are the top 0.01 percent.
We as Emirates pilots have already dumbed down the profession. Not as much as Ryanair pilots have but we are the Ryanair of Long Haul.
When we return to airline pilot pay and benefits Emirates is sorely lacking. Is there a correlation between the mim requirements and what Emirates is attracting?
