Help about EK

Hi there,

My husband successfully took EK pilot program. I've been reading horrible things about that company for hours.

Exhausting, bullying, FO salary not being enough, no free time, divorce....
So I was wondering why is that selection program so popular, why do pilots come to take those tests?

Is it only for the aircraft?

Can you say something positive about EK at all?

Why does EK do that to their pilots?

What benefice can they get? If you want to keep your pilots 5 to 10 years only, it means you have to pay for training to every new pilot, and pay new allowance to new family with young kids again.

So you have to pay for 10% of school (x3 for 3 kids) and 4xprice for food but How much can you save for retirement savings/fund?
If pilots work so much, it's mean bigger salary?
If pilots are so stressed and tired, can medical check reports it?
I'm sorry about all the naive questions.
Best
