Emirates to recruit 700 pilots next 18 months

[Dumb Pilot]

As a matter of interest, how do you deduct that most guys are looking for alternatives.

The same way you form an overall impression of any job that you research, networking; because after all it is impossible to poll an entire pilot group to make a judgment on it but all the folks that I know that are there (and some that are now gone) plus all the EK pilots I encounter in restaurants and watering holes we all frequent (ex pat pilots tend to talk to each other about the conditions of their job) and all tell the same tale

.900+ hours a year
.Fatigue riddled rosters
.violations of the contract
.errors in pay
.a company culture that doesn't respect their employees

I'm sure there are people that are happy there but I have never met any, If it makes you happy I'll change my statement from "most" to "some"

Man ATPLCliff you are on a roll. You know it all brother but can't seem to get hired anywhere, now why is that??? You are just not getting it are you. I am willing to bet that you use your ATPCliff as an email address when you apply to all these companies you are an expert on. So if guys with CRJ experience as still getting hired and are coming from other places in the world, you living in a place that far exceeds a dump, why are you not getting hired? I mean you have all the intel and have buddies at all these places too, from Lome Togo nonetheless. You have been flying for what, over a year now in the DC9 and still are not a captain.

YOU JUST ARE NOT GETTING IT ATPCLIFF.
