Ok I'll bite.
For the trolls out there and any office lurkers.
EK used to be one of the very best Expat flying jobs out there, the recruitment teams were snowed under with applications from pilots who made the original selection criteria. Generally because they had mates flying for EK telling them to come onboard. We flew reasonable rosters with sensible recovery periods, there were no manual insertions, no max days off per month. We were paid a fair remuneration. We got our contracted 42 days leave per year.
In short we had something called Quality of Life and EK had free recruitment advertising via the contacts its' pilots had.
Now things have changed, there is no quality of life, we have ( in real terms) had a pay cut of some 40+% in purchasing power due to well below inflation or no pay rises.
Rostered hours, though recently lowered are still way too high with way too many flip flop day / night duties that completely screw your whole body.
EK seem unable to get us our contracted leave, hiding their failure behind UAE laws that do not apply.
Now the unbelievable irony is having been grateful for the ability to pick and choose from the applicants who made the experience filters due mainly to personal recommendations, EK are trying to blame those of us stuck here for having the audacity to tell the truth.
Think that covers it!
