I would like to thank everybody above for confirming my points with even more childish comments while hiding behind a veil of secrecy.
Airjet, EK was a good gig, but has always been a place for the un-hirable in their home country. The un-hirable make the best slaves.
Whether that be Ansett Scabs, DUI's, personality flaws, home country economy, home country is 3rd world etc etc..or even just pure greed, because EK does pay a lot better than most gigs when you figure a tax free salary.
It really gets the Yankers (Yank Haters) upset when you remind them that Emirates isn't British Airways or anything special you can retire to making your grandchildren proud, its a consolation prize for a failed career, whether by choice or bad luck.
If you are under age 35 with a clean record, it should be viewed as s stepping stone.
