Skitz....

As a former EK guy, I really wonder if you realise what you're about to get yourself into. Have you really done your homework on what its' like there?

It looks great from the outside... brilliant marketing dept for this. But you are akin to slave labor once you've resigned from your current employer and are stuck there (golden handcuffs we say).

Rosters are absolutely atrocious with most... seriously... MOST guys flying 98 hours a month. Might not sound that bad but when you combine that amount of flying with the non-circadium rhythmic of those 98 hours, it wreaks havoc on your body.... young or old.

42 days of vacation a year? Nope. Again brilliant marketing but by law, they only have to give 30 and with so many guys resigning and not the quality of guys coming in to replace them, the ones who stay at EK have to pick up the slack and fly upward of 100 plus hours in some cases. you'll only get 30 days per year... and worse, it can be and at times will be given in spurts of 4-5 days at a time. No credit give for those vacation days either.

You need to be really desperate from your current job to join EK. I know it looks so good from the outside, but try to find someone on the inside and discover what it's like when you scratch the surface.

It's simply a punitive culture that gets worse as more guys leave making those who stay have to fly those 100 hours I'm talking about month, after month, after month, 4 days vacation, month after month after month etc....

I hope you the picture.
