Likeitis…

Very well said.

Some are wondering why guys would leave EK and go back to the US even after being a captain at EK….

It's all about the quality of life including how we are treated at EK (or the lack of that concept), the benefits of not being worked to death with very fatiguing rosters month after month with no letup, and… as one mentioned, with the hiring going on in the states, the appeal is high.

I know a few older guys at EK who are looking to go back and start at the very bottom of some seniority list (which would be strictly followed) just to get out of the sandpit and it's inadequate satisfaction of the job.

So sad too… it used to be a really good gig at EK but appears the bean counters have taken complete control and one individual who we call AAR (bonafide pilot hater) has just made it a horrible place …. so much so that guys even in their 40's are looking at starting all over back in the states. It's really not a difficult decision for them.
