Sincerely,

Nice salary .. if legit ? For relatively inexperienced captains . Check out this agency thoroughly should you be tempted ...

Nobody is coming back here ! Clowns

I would really question the 6 who supposedly came back. There is a severe pilot shortage worldwide so why would you come to EK in the first place but after spending time here and know how the company treats us why would you come back for more beatings?
What did the 6 do at their previous employers to want to leave there? Something is not adding up both with Emirates and with the six.
Everyone I know is wanting to get out of here. Why come back, you know how bad it is here and since you left it has gotten significantly worse. You 6 left for very good personal reasons. Those reasons if they involved Emirates and Dubai are more magnified for the worse. Did you not learn anything?

Ha ha ha ...like you checked EK before joining

No ! What he is saying is research the agency and research the fine print WrT the money.

No RK Emirates pilots rarely learn anything.
Why would one come back here?

Very personal reasons of which you would have no knowledge if they have magnified or not. I have no idea if anyone on or not on that list is returning but if so I bet it is again for very personal reasons. Don't pretend to know what they are. To their credit they have done more than you RK or me....they left

I tried to convey that Dubai and Emirates have gotten worse since those 6 have returned. Dubai is more expensive, more crowded and more polluted even in the last 18 months if they were gone that long.
Emirates continues to degrade our profession and our quality of life almost on a daily basis and it doesn't seem to be getting better. After all pilots have said for 10 yrs it is one thing after another and always for the worse.
Yes those 6 did resign to their credit but they did something far worse and mind numbing. They returned knowing all they know. There is quite a difference between a low time Tubo Prop Boy Wonder not knowing anything and a pilot that has lived here and has worked for EK.
Like I said everyone I know has their exit strategy in place. There are greener pastures and we as pilots are in the drivers seat for the first time in decades.

Seemed to have touched a nerve with ab pilot ... so I did a very small amount of research into vor holdings recruitment agency . Quite an eye opener , I suggest he has a vested interest ? . Not much research needed for EK , pros & cons , just read the posts here , 15 or so years ago it was more than tolerable , as was Dubai ,now not so much ! Btw back to the main thread ; not all those "returners" have any real interest whatsoever in coming back and they wont . It's just politics ... disregard .
