To answer the incredulous that don't work at Emirates;
We as pilots only get paid for the amount we fly in the seat and nothing more.
We do not get paid for holding , delays or strong headwinds.
We do not get paid for sims.
We don't get paid for ground duties.
We don't get paid for computer based modules that probably add up to 10 + hours a year in unpaid activity.
Yet there are still pilots lining up to join this rat hole.
Wait until the Jepp system comes on line. Even the Kool-Aid drinkers will come around and see the light for what EK is really about. No amount of indoctrination or drugs can hide the fact no matter how hard they try to convince themselves that they made the right decision to join Emirates.
