I’m reaching out for insights, particularly from those who’ve made the move from CX to EK.
What are your thoughts on the transition?
Which job is better for a pilot flying the A350?
How about 380 vs 350?
I’ve heard some concerning feedback about EK, specifically regarding the lack of training (only testing), a punitive work culture, the artificial environment in Dubai, and the potential treatment from locals. I’d like to hear your experiences and perspectives on these issues.
How do these concerns compare to what you experienced at CX and HKG?
