I would be dishonest if I said HR did not care about my reasons for leaving. I received a phone call from one of the HR ladies and we had a pleasant and professional conversation. She asked me what EK could have done to keep me there. I simply told her that they should open bases overseas, and let PBS build our rosters, with no manual insertions. I mentioned to her that there was no reason for them to restrict pilots' days off. She understood but said that unfortunately those decisions are made above her pay grade. In the end she was kind enough to offer for me to reapply whenever I wanted to come back. I though it was thoughtful. My 2 cents.
