Daddy-oh used to post as Pontious. Back in 2004 he wrote the following on this forum about EK:
How many UK charter airlines have you worked for since leaving EK 8 years ago? How many went bust? These are genuine questions for D-O.
But it does sound like a great job for someone with low overheads.
I've been here 18 months and I love it! Nobody comes to EK from the UK for the Bunce. It's a question of quality of life. I came here to get away from crappy weather, tax, crappy promotion prospects, tax, a crappy government, tax, crappy services, tax, miserable b******s on late trains, tax, road rage,tax, the whordes of juvenile delinquents of a jilted generation, tax, same old Med and Caribbean routes, tax, same old routine, tax, whinging b******s, tax oh and dwindling pensions. Enuff said.

Positivity! Always happy. Although constantly changing jobs suggests otherwise. Why leave EK during the good times when you 'loved it'?
Honest question as I'm considering doing the opposite for the reasons quoted above. I gather EK is a different beast 8 years later on.

Ahh. The naïveté of youth. When was that? 2004? 2005? You forgot to mention I left due to compassionate reasons.
To answer your question, 2.
Excel was a Charter outfit. I left it in 2006, about a year before it went bust.
If you mean FlyGlobespan, that was 'Scheduled IT' & I was with it when it went down in Dec 2009.
My current employer is Scheduled. It made £27 million 2011-12 & £40 million 2012-13 so it's fairly secure.

Compassionate reasons? This is what you wrote 8 months later in mid 2005. The thread was about EK vs Ryanair.
Jet2 now huh.
Decent money, home every night, able to spend more time with the family, easily make 'Last Orders' at your local watering hole, COMMAND, good craic at work, friendlier working enviroment, easy accessibilty of top quality porn....oops!, safe(r) roads, as for tax, you'll probably be making more in sector pay to offset against income tax, EUROPE, greenery, no long overnight flights, no jet lag or feeling permanently knackered, fun at work...spending the best part of the last 18 months looking at what my friends back in charter and Lo cost have in terms of quality of life, money, pension schemes, promotion opportunities...they are just some of the reasons I'm leaving.
Did you mean Jan roster?
We're bidding 6 weeks out, not 10.

Trainers bids for February close 15th December.

Don't know about how bidding works for the trainers but for us mere mortal line guys the bidding for Feb hasn't even opened yet, but will close somewhere about the 11th or 12th of Jan. I make that 3 weeks before the roster is published and I think it is pretty standard everywhere.
Bid satisfaction is another matter entirely.

My compassionate reasons were exactly that- MY REASONS.
And none of your respective f*****g business's.
I'll finish by saying that the death of a loved one makes you realise what's important, really important in life.
Merry Christmas to you all.
