I will side with Harry again
Harry has never been emotional in his statements .. Can't say the same about ur response
He merely accepts the current reality ... Perhaps you have been long away from ur home and the ancient first class treatment that pilots received that it clouds ur views of the current market
I view this sites on daily basis for constructive comments like Harry's

Wow..! Emirates accommodation vs Easyjets relentless rosters, 'creative' rostering practices and cut price foreign DEC contracts..!
Why don't these guys just move out of their EK homes/flats and take the million quid that EK will give them over the next 25-30 years..?
If you think you can't last 25-30 at EK heading off to MUC, BKK and MRU each month then the very best of luck at EasyJet..!

Craggen,
Your living in the 90's world of EK. The current world is 6 layover trips a month to many undesirable places in varying time zones to the tune of 92 hours per month with the inability to swap to the desired destination examples you listed above.
It would be great if your example was true.... That said, I would not go to Ryan or Easy from EK......YET.........

You guys talking about other companies, with so many opinions and so much knowledge, have no clue what you are talking about.
I don 't mean to be bitter or rude, really, but I can also promise you it's not like these companies are there just waiting to hire you.
All the best

The Mondial guy (EK prov fund) recently told me he's seeing an increase in guys n' gals who previously were just grumpy but are now on their way or making plans before they hand in their resignation.
Not saying it'll be massive numbers, just an increase in unhappy folks ready to make the move. His observations, not mine!

A flight was delayed a few days ago because of no FO available. The original FO was used to crew an earlier flight which had an FO go sick and no replacement could be found in time.

We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee. It is run commercially by BBC Worldwide, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC, the profits made from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes.
I don't understand the logic behind that policy, not pertinent to this thread though really.

An entire ground school day was apparently lost last week because of a shortage of trainers.
We've let go several long time and very knowledgable GSFIs, and now they're short.
There aren't enough trainers to run the 777 program for the year.
....."but 100 applied for trainer positions" they said. ...so all must be fine.
