Laker, free medical? Give me a break. That's a complete conflict of interest having the company provide medical insurance. It's generally a PITA getting them to pay for procedures these days, particularly for those of us with spouses & kids. Button isn't far off top pay level considering the hours we put in and the equipment we fly. There's a top out to years served and duty hours have essentially gone up over the years. Don't kid yourself. Schedules won't improve. EK is a sinking ship. As a family, we've had a 21 year history with EK; wife was a f/a from 1996, I joined in 2005 & sis-in-law was a f/a from 2007. Morale is at an all time low and conditions will not improve. Anyone hoping for things to change are sadly clinging to hope that EK will 'do the right thing'. Good luck with that...thankfully our 21 year history is coming to a close.
