Flowpay…
Yep, guys are doing that here for the several reasons: To get out of EK and to have much better access to interviews which with the EK schedules are next to impossible to do… on purpose from EK's part, I'd guess
I know one gentlemen who left as a 3 year FO on the wide body to go to a regional in the US. He had no qualms at all about doing it to leave EK. I just received a whatsapp from him 4-5 weeks ago that he'd been hired at UAL, after having been with the regional for about 3-4 months.
Some guys just want out no matter what… I also know two pilots personally, and have heard of one other EK pilot whom I don't know, who've resigned with no job to go to!
Sadly, these are facts at EK these days….
