How miserly airlines created their own pilot shortage - The Business Journals

I hope this helps turn the tide

I was an EK FO for 2 years. I left a few weeks ago for a job with a legacy back here in the US. What a breath of fresh air it has been; night and day difference. Literally every single American captain I flew with at EK while I was there was waiting for a call from any legacy in the US. There will be a mass exodus.

Wizofoz, sadly RYR has only upped its game for passengers. There have been recent changes that plumb new lows for pilots and cabin crew, and resignations appear to be increasing further. Anyone planning to return should check the new terms and conditions carefully before applying or resigning - the new pay scales are shocking and basing is a major issue, even if you get the base you request (lots of being sent out for short periods or full seasons, depending on base).

People leaving EK to go back to RYR is pure fantasy. Maybe one or two, but certainly not the large numbers people seem to think. Just another rumour !

DC..I will just check with my neighbours, to ensure they are not living a fantasy.

The pay raise looks nice, but it's nothing with out decent work rules. All the article does is vilify airline pilots.

The U.S. airlines do have very good work rules! Not as good as they have had in the past but leaps and bounds better than the worlds airlines and 100% better than EK because Emirates has ZERO work rules. He11, we don't even get paid for our own sim check.
One has to be crazy to join this circus!
