Of course they're much clearer about that. cabin crew come here for different reasons. Young crew, vibrant Dubai lifestyle and nightlife, free accommodation and a tax free salary while they slog their guts out travelling around the World seeing exotic places they heard about in school and staying in 4-5 star hotels that most 21 year olds could only dream of. 3-6 years in EK at most with those from less stable and financially wealthy Countries making it more of a long term career.
Pilots are generally in it for the long term from the start. The exceptions being those so young they can leave and start again or those looking to cap off their retirement fund with a commuting contract after the chicks have flown the nest. If you're in the middle, your view should be long term. If not, this airline is not one to apply for. It's nothing to do with denial, it's about dealing with two completely different professions and demographics, each with inherently different goals apart from one.
Making an improvement over current lifestyle.
