He said, she said... Who cares?
One thing I observed in my time in the desert was the seemingly endless capacity of many pilots to talk complete rubbish to justify their own positions and opinions. It doesn't matter what anybody thinks about what's going on at Emirates. What matters is what you do about it. Complaining about it doesn't help, and I do see where Vortex is coming from as there are many people who absolutely do not subscribe to the narrative that is portrayed on PPRUNE.
I left partly because I can only see the environment becoming worse at EK for pilots, not better. If am honest though, at least 50% of the motivating force was the endless whining and bitching that I was forced to listen to from my colleagues which made going to work a major PITA. I flew with plenty of people who seem to have, at best, anger management issues, and they were all universally negative people that had no concept of their good fortune in life.
I think I'm going to stop reading this now: like SOPS, I have the dogs to walk.
