Hi!
The starting point for this situation is that conditions have DETERIORATED. Once you are used to something, when it gets worse, it is very frustrating, because humans are designed to improve things, and that is what we hope for.
I have noted this same situation at virtually EVERY airline (I have seen this same phenomenon with friends at DAL, Cathay, NetJets, USAir, USA Jet, Air Wisconsin, Trans States, CAL, NWA, etc.). When things deteriorate, employees are upset, and many of them look to leave, when they never have before.
So, for the pilots that can find a job that they feel is better than EK, they leave. For those of us for whom EK is a better job than our current situation, they are applying.
It is like this in EVERY industry on the planet.
You have to constantly update your information, to decide if you want to stay at your current job/career, or if there is one available that you feel is significantly better. That is why lately a number of US pilots have stopped flying and changed career fields.
I was forced to change careers to non-flying, and, when I had the chance, I changed back to flying again.
