In the last few years he has listened to many EK Pilots with tales of woe, and hatred of their company, and hence dislike of their job, and subsequent lifestyle. He says it is a blessing from above that he never became a Pilot. How far our career has fallen, that our drivers feel so sorry for us.........
Had this driver a few months ago, heard his story, sad story, told me more than once how he only needs 4000 dirhams to buy into the white Lexus uber business.
He did explore the option of bagging the company, I shut it down, I to support my family.
I don't deny that this man is well educated, I had the feeling that he could take advantage of someone's good nature, pity for him pilots are tight.
