And when you go to PPrune keep a couple of things in mind. There are around 2000 pilots at EK and you will see at the most a dozen reapeated names posting. Most at Ek don't even bother to read it anymore, at least that is what guys tell me. So keep it in perspective. Not all great, not all bad, like any job anywhere. But the pruners seem to be the extreme, most of the time. Now and again there will be some guys that will add perspective...so surf, but bewarned.
