Suck it up Buttercup? We have been and we are now heartily sick of the double standards trotted out about "Life in EK" by the likes of this production.
The person concerned has willingly assisted portraying a totally false picture of our "lives", as all shiny and exciting.
It is simply dishonest, not just those who produced the video but also those who have put themselves in front of the camera.
It is also wrong, imho, to try and get people to upsticks and move everything to the Pit without giving them an OBJECTIVE and truthful picture. Hence my suggestion to make another video about the real life of an EK pilot.
Objectivity is an absolute in aviation, too much rides on making decisions without proper information.
It is unethical, imho, to ask future colleagues to make life changing choices for them and their families without showing the actual life. The one without the sparkles.

When we joined the situation couldn't have been more different. EK had literally 1000s of applications from guys and girls with buckets of experience. EK could, in short, cherry pick. Hence the openness of what we were shown was total. Actual named rosters, the building site where we would live, the interesting road safety culture, in fact all the information required to make a considered and measured choice.
It would now appear that we(EK) are trying to lure the unwary, if this is the fare being presented to them.

So if things are all great why not show the warts, like before? After all, as a new joiner, honesty from one's new prospective employer is a feature to be admired.
