As I have said a lot ( with a lot our hate mail) it is simple. If EK treated the pilots that they have ( or used to have) with some deceney then they would have not this problem. That's it, end of story.
As I said on a previous post, I had dinner with 5 other ' retired' Ex EK captains last week. Over 100000 hours among us. We had all left for the same reason..enough was enough.
Enough said.....
