Emirates is going to get better in 1 to 2 years? Have they gone mad? Emirates will never get better. The same loonies said 5-7 years ago that the airline can't keep going at this pace and that was before they took away our productivity by raising the hrs to 92 and limited our vacation to 30 days max with most lucky to get 21-24 days when they don't want leave.
Any American seriously considering staying at EK while the US majors are hiring 100 pilots a month is also Mad. What would they stick around for, a serious health issue? Don't worry EK will deliver that for you no problem.
