It is disturbing and a sign of just how many EK pilots suffer from the work equivalent of 'Battered Wife Syndrome' that you are considering this a commuting contract.
Take a breath, minus the shisha, and realise that a commuting contract it ain't.
They lowered the requirements to the absolute minimum and couldn't get anyone.
They offered (disgustingly) new joiners more than current pilots and couldn't get anyone.
Now they are offering a crap package and you are blindly considering it good. 28 days on 13 days off - what planet are you on?
Almost 2 years ago they deludedly believed they could become an 'Employer of Choice,' and introduced a survey that would allow them to announce this to the world. The backlash was so great the results have disappeared into the ether - yet more typical head in the sand from management.
Stop kidding yourselves about this 'deal.'
