Guys, can I throw an open question if I may...
If you are all sick of the EK lifestyle, then why don't you just leave? Not only are there other airlines out there, there are other careers! Think about how many people aspire to be in your shoes.
LEAVING.
What makes you think that many who read and participate in these discussions haven't already done so or are contemplating doing so or are in the very process of doing so?
But thanks for participating in a discussion you apparently know nothing about. This IS the internet, after all.
