Whilst I'm genuinely happy to hear about the positive medical outcomes of my fellow EK pilots wives and families, lets not forget something...
The EK "medical insurance" is exactly that...an in-house medical insurance in which YOU pay a PREMIUM for your wife and children.
Like any other insurance (Bluecross, BUPA etc), there are limits, exclusions, locations of treatment facilities etc.
So, please don't run away with the notion that EK has "gone the extra mile" to help your wife or yourself - while in fact, any other paid insurance would have done the same.
Personally, I'd be happier if EK dropped their in-house money making insurance (which it most definately is...) and offered us a private, non company invasive medical insurance.
