Factoring has been in place for the better part of 4 years and is not going away. The company can screw us too easily with that and love to use it against us.
Pilots are starting to leave. Over 30 since July. I know some Kool-Aid pilots will say that is not a lot but when you look at how many pilots BA has to replace or Delta loses a year that is huge especially when you factor (there is that term again) replacing a pilot who leaves voluntarily probably costs the company at least $50,000.
With things only getting worse in the sand it will interesting to see who EK attracts to experience it glorious T&Cs.
By the way Emirates is not honoring 4 items in my contract so if you are really thinking about coming don't say you haven't been warned.
