2008 crash literally made dubai a ghost town. I was here and it wasn't pretty.
In the pandemic they pretended that it wouldn't affect business blah blah and then laid off 1.5k pilots.
The upcoming global recession will be bigger still in terms of scale, and no doubt will decimate the UAE again! But lets all pretend for now! who's coming for a 800 dizla brunch at the burj? off to buy a Ferrari cause our jobs are so safe!!!!!!! #mydubai

I make no defence for how the situation was handled but to actively wish ill on a similar work group is just about as crap as it gets.

Lets not forget the 777 boys who were not just on unpaid leave but were terminated totally. I think the 777 guys took a bad hit the last time.
Its not about 777 vs 380, its about decency and that was and is sadly lacking on managements behalf.

I left EK after 11 years recently… best move I’ve ever made!
I now drive myself to work in my own car that doesn’t stink of farts, bliss.

It is true we flew max during the past years but to take it out on each other, is bs. Almost all frustration is caused by the company. And of course you have some "super" pilot mofoos who still believe that bigger is better. They have to compensate for many things. In the end everyone will get their share.

You don’t realize how undervalued you really were until you’re out!

I struggle to think of companies that don’t undervalue their pilots these days. Most of Europe is out of the equation for sure, except you don’t get paid anywhere near as much to put up with it.

be the first. From there it depending if 380 are leaving the sand pit for good.
mentality hasn’t changed there. Some senior FO will be transfered and possible loose a year or 2 to command because suddenly they need 1000h on type. Some direct entries
bottom line how ever they feel at the time of need.
