"Might be the wrong thread but given two job offers (both 777) do I take EK or EY? Already rated and had the fun beaten out of me already.
Or neither?.."
EK a much better managed company than EY, more stable, less surprises, making a profit, factors influencing a long term career choice.....
EK better T&C:s as in a proper retirement plan in the 12 % company contribituion..
...profit sharing..
... company transport to work ( no need second car for wifey )... ....currency fluctuation protection versus your home currency...
...better medical protection in that all your family can use the EK clinic for free INCLUDING dental coveage ( EY pilots sending family to Bangkok etc for dental checkups as not covered by EY insuarance and BKK cheaper than UAE )...
...and when you go long term sick in EY you are not paid salary beyond 6 weeks ( unless offered office job ) while in EK no such issues, any pilots out with longterm issues supported...
....EK housing situation better than EY with villas provided for pilots with families....
sure I am missing something, please feel free to add to this list....

Everything EY EVP says is true. However, having worked for both, I was far FAR happier at EY.............
You weren't on the 320 fleet mate
I think people need to start realizing that there are two airlines within one here. I have friends on the 330/777 and 340 and they all enjoy their life and jobs. (especially 340 guys)
most of the EY 320 pilots (captains and FO's) I know hate their jobs and a lot of them are thinking about finding other opportunities.

I'll tell you what it means...
There are quite a few senior first officers with more than enough time and more importantly, the company experience required for an upgrade.
They have been watching 320 DEC's come and go, been told they can't upgrade because they are incapable of babysitting cadets, been kept away from the widebody except a one or two that trickle to 330 CCQ and do one turn a month to maintain currency. Been told that it is just inconceivable that an airbus pilot could succeed on a Boeing...
There is a core group of some damn fine 320 skippers that are being worked to the max as resignation after resignation is being handed in from both left and right seat. The solution to finally upgrade the guys at the top of the FO list has always been there, but with the training dept in utter chaos and too busy flying the line, the best they can do is pull down some very reluctant 330 skippers to stop gap the turnover.
I can only imagine what a fresh crop of 320 DEC's would do to those FO's ready to leave. Some come on over and try to keep a straight face while you tell the guy in the right seat how you'd really prefer to be back home, but they money was too good to pass up. On the other hand, I'm sure the 200 hr replacements will love to hear you stories.
