So does all this talk about the US carriers mean that any US pilot that stays at EK is stupid to do so? Let's put it this way, the US legacy carries are not the only game in town. If you are hell bent on returning home that's great but don't try to sell your decision on other people, just do it for yourself. BTW , how many EK Capt's returning to the US compared to FOs? You might be shocked at the numbers, meaning not as many as you think.
Ps you have to realize it makes no difference at all to me and if all US pilots went back to the states I probably wouldn't notice, sorry.
