Can you survive.

The answer to your question is - longterm -

No.

The present rostering practices are not sustainable. This is not only a flight crew issue, it crosses all departments. Cabin crew reisigning in droves, engineers on forced overtime, on and on. It's systemic and thus, not possible to sustain.

There are pilots at the top of the seniority list who are retiring after 20 years service. There is absolutely no one hired in the last several years who will physically last that long. Sobering thought.

Using rape and home invasion as rhetoric to defend EK's practices is pitiful. If that's what it takes to make EK/Dubai look good, well...
