Unfortunately this a new generation of pilots who live to pose on instagram and cant go to the toilet without taking their selfie sticks to show how awesome they are. Most of these guys rather look good and loose than look bad and win !!!!

yes that is a you're old joke. Oh and btw in what way are you winning. This Ben seems to be happy, probably got some money for this ad and enjoys his life. You are miserable, probably wasting money away on a divorce and unhappy in life. Easy to see a winner in this one

Spare us the drugstore psychology will you?? At 40 yrs of age I hardly need to go to the toilet 5 times, not miserable, not going through divorce as im still with wife number 1 after 19yrs.. Just merely saying these posing instagram pilots with their selfie sticks are painting completely the wrong image of life in EK having been here only 2 minutes!!!!
)! Enjoy the day fine sir!

If you're happy that the Co will be paying new hires more than you after you have been here three plus years...
If you're happy that as a 25 yr old, having signed a five year bond, you will now have to wait ten years to upgrade..
If you're happy that the Co step has not kept up with inflation over the past eight years...
If you're happy that those slow growth upgrades that will be more valuable down the rd for young guys will be taken by level 2 guys junior to you while you wait to be 35...
If you're happy...(vacay, 95+,swap limits,non-comms,med benefit decrease,etc etc...there's too much to go on)
Then go ahead and do a promo video.
Then good for you.
Because the more people they can attract who are happy with the above the more the 'happiness' policies will continue, you're just too young to understand.
But I'm happy to be an "old fart" that expects better than that.

Emirates is a nice job for 25-35, the only thing that is making it bad is you guys. So do yourself and us a favour, gtfo
One of the things that will never get extinct, a part from arrogance, is stupidity.

Probably the difference here isn't it irregardless of how "****" this job has become, we youngsters don't know any different. Does that make us unlucky? Perhaps, but at least we are happy doing it and no one can take that away. You old farts have seen this job change ( probably you're own fault, cause you're a bunch of nagging babies ) and now you're trying to relive a time which won't come back ever. Only thing you guys are capable of day in day out is complain, hate on the company but the worst thing is, hating on your colleagues. Us youngsters understand you guys must be pissed when you come from that golden age but you cannot understand that we are happy. As a lovely captain once said:"you're not allowed to be happy"

Haha I can see now why the ladies at work prefer us old farts to young arrogant hot shot stallions like yourself with small selfie sticks.. Funny thing is if you are as young and stupid as you sound then most likely you wont even see the left seat as once honeymoon wares off you will be back at your Low cost airline asking for command !!!! If you represent most of the youngsters here then I can see why this under 35 policy might have put in place, to keep hot shots like you away from the left seat and only promote sensible old farts !!!!! Just saying !!!!!
and sensible? Get off your throne you elitist so called pilot. Honestly this is my 3rd company and the quality of captains here is horrible. "Shots fired"

Arrogance v Professionalism
Flyingishere
As previously suggested it's probably morons like you giving the rest of us under 35's a bad name and restrictions on forwarding our career.
It's no surprise we aren't treated like professionals anymore when you speak the way you do.

Honestly you just made my day! Being treated like professionals. I point out (as a lonely youngster ) what is wrong with the old generation and I get told I'm not professional, yet dozens do it to Instagram guy and Ad guy and are so called professional! Thank you for making my point Alan!

So what is wrong with us old generation (40 yrs old) exactly???? Because we dont spend all day on instagram trying to get laid?? Or is it because we are not cool if we dont pose with our shades on in the flight deck every 5 mins again trying to get attention and likes from the stupid young selfie girls who get impressed with what we do???

Right you appear to have completely misunderstood what professionalism means. Please feel free to continue to make a prat of yourself on here. My only concern is that passengers might read these forums and think we're all like you.
I think it's gone too far now; we've lost the chance to be a well respected profession because of the way you come across, speak about others, and because of people like your mate Instagram guy. That was really my point.

Flyinishere probably has the newest tech and thousands of followers on his Instagram but clearly he/she is either a windup or has a lot to learn. Wisdom comes with time... only if you pay attention.
You can't fight the clock, you'll piss 5 times a night sooner than you think. You might go through a nasty divorce and subsequent custody battles. I would suspect your Instagram posts would steadily decrease.
As far as this recruitment video, if Ben is happy here, then great! I would think EK would be a different job for us if we all grew up here and had family very close. Unfortunately this is an expat airline and most of us are away from our home.
Factor in everything else we deal with (flion has great list above) and I think it's safe to say that Ben is a minority, or outlier.

Apologies, I got caught feeding the troll. After checking through flyingishere posts it's clear he's only on the wind up. After stating he started his flight training "just after 9/11" he then goes on to repeat the fact that he's 26.
If he is for real and just forgot what year 9/11 occurred, or the 777 roster is taking its toll on his maths then I genuinely hope he can stay happy. Sadly for most new joiners, new marriages and new pprune accounts the honeymoon period doesn't last forever.

I wouldn't bat an eyelid at what my colleagues do in their spare time as it's quite frankly none of my business. There are over 4000 of us now and we all lead different and sometimes very different lives when not at work. All I ask for is that my colleagues whilst I am at work, treat me with the same respect and courtesy as I aim to show towards them.
There are far to many preconceptions that exist based on numerous factors, such as age or where one worked prior to EK. Whilst these may on occasion be valid, the days that I sometimes expect to be a struggle, often turn out to be the complete opposite. This dispels many of these preconceptions and stereotypes and proves that they are often not frequently encountered, for me at least!

Those EY threads are so much better right? Oh wait there.
