I didn't say that at all, what I said was this:
a lot of guys at EK have no idea what bad is.
That was drawn in comparison to 121 Supplemental operations. Have you flown 121 Supplemental flight and duty time limitations for a fly-by-night operator?
Have you worked on a contract ( or for a company ) where you wouldn't be paid if you were on extended sick leave?
If anybody cares to read through all these posts they'll find that I do not advocate EK as a first choice. A young person in the States should try for Fedex, UPS, or some of the other carriers that offer a good long term career.
I'm just here to answer questions as they come along. You may view it as one-sided, but it is a real person's view who has been at EK for more than 2 years. The guys on PPrune will destroy anybody who posts something positive about EK. So that has stopped to become a reliable source of information. Just look at the latest example of how they're trying to hurt somebody who simply made a positive statement to the press. One word, pathetic !!
A full read of these threads on APC gives far more useful information to any prospective pilot. There have been good points raised, negative and positive, that should allow a person to make an informed decision.
