That's just it. EK used to be a job you finally achieved after putting in your time in puddle jumping, then regional then narrow body. EK is now no longer a place pilots seek as their career goal but more for a stepping stone to a better place. The SIM is proof of this. 25 minutes performing turns and climbs VS the 2 hour full monty at Korean. EK is no longer interested in attracting the best just attracting someone who can legally fill the seat.
