EK - Why bother?!

EKPILOT is close to the mark with his comment

Now does that statement reflect the current demographic make up of those joining and those leaving?

You could also add how each and every year we get the same speech about how great our salary and package is as Emirates have surveyed Top Airline Salaries and Conditions and what we get is in the top group.

Funny how none of us have yet to see these figures, these guys must have worked at Enron some time ago...

My bet is that there will not be a big salary or attitude change, just wish full thinking from us Minions.....

The truth is out there (or somewhere in EGHQ)

This place really started to slide downhill about 4 years ago. Think back to what happened - the start of the hyper expansion and the appointment of a new airline president.

Now we're getting closer to the truth. How insightful of you Gillegan. It is at this man's altar that the final decisions rest. Now, when has he ever changed anything for the better? As I said, a very insightful post by Mr. Gillegan.
ekpilot also has it spot on when talking about demographics. Oh, hang on that's me! Or is it? those 'in the know' will know that there are now probably over twenty of us ekpilots around, as well as EK Pilot! PM me and I'll let you know the password!! But I also agree with one of the other ekpilots when he said:

As for the post by Check 'Six' I can only add my name to the list of those that acknowledge his wise words. But, money is not everything and if you are getting a lot more to play with here to compensate for the downside of thing, then all well and good, but I would prefer to drop a few grand a year and go elsewhere, somewhere where the grass is not just greener, but is there because nature intended it to be, not Emaar or Nakheel.
To repeat, it is not about the money. But good luck to all who choose to live here and work here, it's not bad for a while, but keep those expectations very low, Dubai inc. has a bad habit of hyping things up a bit!
