The forum discussion asks if all EK pilots are unhappy? I'm merely using actual evidence to answer that question.
People's view of this Company will be heavily biased towards many variables, the most obvious being and in no particular order;
1) Disciplinary record
2) Fleet type
3) Time and position within Company
4) Accommodation
5) Financial situation
6) Dubai. (Home for some, base to commute to for others)
7) Interests outside of work, sport, social.
8) Regular holidays/mini breaks from Dubai
9) Long term/short term view of EK career and previous airline conditions.
10) And perhaps the most important of all, domestic arrangements. Kids in the right school, happy wife, friends, family and support network.
This Company is by no means perfect. Still some punitive concerns but those have generally improved. I agree with a lot of the issues, but not all, stated in SS's post above. Sadly, many concerns and gripes could easily be corrected with little effort and no cost. However, in the majority of cases, there will always be factors other than EK that influence our opinion of this and any other job. The problem here is that so much of our lives are controlled by our employer. That lack of personal space and control is a major stressor for some.
It's important that people thinking of coming here recognise that fact.
