[QUOTE=Rainman7;9730108]I thought the last time they announce the exclusive Freighter only membership, there was such an overwhelming demand from crews, that it would have been a done deal by now. More smoke and mirrors, an attempt in their continued desperation to bait the trap. If you want a real commuting contract there are plenty of real airlines out there offering real commuting terms, 14/14 not a bogus 28/13. Maybe if you are single/divorced/ hate your family this would appeal to you.
You EK guys need to lose the "hate your family" mantra when you commute. I would argue the exact opposite. You must really hate your family to force them to reside in Dubai. You're so fatigued that any days off with them in the shiny city are overshadowed by your crap temper and general feeling of malaise. Dubai and EK is a divorce factory no more or no less than a commutable roster. The industry is such that you do what works for your personal situation. There are no great options anymore. When the money was good and the rosters not a slow death sentence, EK was a tolerable option. That ship sailed about 7 years ago. Waiting around for things to improve is a fools game. EK could never manage commuting pilots. The company is a patriarchicsl control freak that needs its pilots squashed under its thumb. Stop dreaming. If you hate it leave. If you don't stop complaining.
