Returning to EK
Hi all,
I recently met an ex EK pilot by chance. He told me he is thinking about going bak to EK but wasn't sure if he has to apply as a new joiner or what. I told him I had no idea about how to proceed.
Anyone has an idea about who to ask or where is it written?
PD: He left in good terms.
Thanks in advance

I have a friend who went back at the beginning of the year. He had to apply as anew joiner, do all the interview process and the entire training again. I hope that helps

It took me 4 months to get a normal sleeping pattern again. I would have to be really desperate to consider a return.
Several guys have returned, all for their personal reasons, which I respect.
I'll never say never but I can definitely say "Highly unlikely".

A few have chosen to return to the region recently (Ryan Air/Norwegian/etc) and have chosen not to return to EK but to join QR.

I think most genuinely honest Ex EK bods will tell you that the place sucks the life and soul out of you in a variety of ways, armed with this knowledge I’d argue that you can in theory mitigate a lot of that. Does that mean I’d personally contemplate returning to EK? never in a million years would I get to that point because simply speaking there is nothing worth or worthy at EK that could get close to tempting me.
Yes a few have returned, many are from Southern African failed states along with a few victims of circumstance who have been left without a chair when the music stopped.
The numbers returning as far as I’m aware is minuscule but good luck to them, at least they are making a truly informed decision.

Yes life must be terrible in these "Southern African failed states".... It is just ironic that quite a few of us elected to return back to these states by choice. It just shows how bad things are at EK....
