TangoUniform--I'm looking at EK for the same reason--10 (or 15 outside the U.S.) years to go and I'd like some stability. No, I don't believe American Airlines is "stable". I'm at the bottom of the seniority list via a merger integration so I can get let go again.

While there is no "safe" airline job, this looks decent in that respect. Besides, with the aircraft they have on order and on the property, you can go do contract work if you end up unemployed. Not so with MD80 command time...

Having visited this site for several years, no one can accuse any of us of going in with blinders on. TC

Quote TU,
''You will be welcomed with open arms (unless you are an American DEC and run into Mesaboy)''
I have never said a bad word to, or treated a DEC any differently than anyone else, American or not and that is the truth.
I do admit I purchased a Voodoo Pilot doll dressed in red, white and blue, which proudly recites, ''roger that, undershtand cleared down to 24 OH, thank you Shir '' , and I have poked rather large needles into it on occasion.
Sincerely,
Mesaboy
(Initially I thought that was a typo but now I see that in fact, it is quite witty of you, actually brought a smile to my face)

I have been away from Pprune for a while and especially from the middle-east forum and look what happens:

There are actually contributers in here that are rational and striving for balanced contributions! it is unbelievable. No longer the long litany of mindless bitching only occasionally interrupted by a balanced post!

If you keep this up I might even start visiting the forum more often again and read what people have to say!

Careful my friend, some people might find that rasist. Not me.
Just do what I do, and hate everybody equally.

Thanks for your input, could you kindly provide more information regarding perdiem and sector pay (over time pay). Does EK provide perdiems on layovers ?

Thanks
