Just to throw something in the mix...it's been about 5 weeks now since I did my last flight. Sitting at home, the biggest pressure I have not had is counting down the days until I return to Dubai, as I always did while on leave.
The other thing I have found, is how much better I feel, sleeping when then sun is down, being awake when then sun is up.
And the removal of the 'EK stress' hard to explain, unless you work for EK. The constant feeling....you are only as good as your last sector...
There is a lot to fix, a big bonus IMHO do that...there is so much wrong now, so much ingrained in management it may never get fixed..beating those that remain certainly won't help...
