I also think that as long as there exists Ryan Air, Emirates will have a constant supply of applicants and new joiners as they seem to be the training ground for Emirates the past year or two.

This place is nothing like a normal legacy air carrier like British, Air France, KLM where you'd stay your whole career of 30-ish years. Honestly don't think that's even possible with our rosters at 92 hours each month all over the globe. You'd die before getting to 65 at this airline.

Mind you I love the flying and the travel, but there is just not enough days between the trips to recover.... especially the older one gets.

75 hours at say Air France (any world legacy) with union backing vs 91:59 at EK pretty much left hung out to dry with no backing or protection?
