Devil Just the facts.....

As you can see I generally do not post but here is my 5 fills...

Regarding TP pilots or jet experience it is all up to the individual and his own ability. There are great pilots from all flying back grounds and nationalities.

The main concern to all who want to join is know what you are getting into. In Ek you are purely a number, they do not care about the individual and your family. They hand out warning letters like a production line, divide and concur, shoot first then ask questions. There have been several examples of this, Accra, Melbourne, Lagos to name a few, and how they have mistreated pilots with no regard to the person and family just the EK brand. Even after some minor incidence the first question of most of the pilots are, "are we going to get called into the office for this?" Not a good state of affairs especially when your colleague utters this on vacating the runway after a low speed RTO.

This situation is not just limited to pilots, the cabin crew, engineers etc. are all treated the same. Staff report each other purely to keep the spot light off themselves. It is the culture of the company. All departments are short staffed and over worked, cabin, engineering, ground staff .... If you are happy to except this as a working environment please do join, each individual should make the decision for themselves and their own situation. The company needs all the staff they can get in ALL positions.

Good luck
