Left EK in the last year for the states. The difference in corporate culture couldn't be further apart. At EK I felt like just a small cog within a huge machine that they would provide the minimalist MX to keep me showing up to work. Three years of fatigue and working under locals with the IQ of a chimpanzee wears on you. The emirati chief pilots couldn't manage a lemonade stand much less a pilot group. Lucky enough for them they aren't required to do anything except say no.
