Flight Ops DSVP & SVP are stellar characters. One can see that these fellas spent their careers in a unionized environment. You can count on them to stand-up to their principles.
They would never defend any silly or arbitrary rule that was imposed from upper management.

Our "enry" even sent me a letter saying I should look at it as an opportunity to consolidate my experience, when I had to go sit in the right hand side for 18 months. Hell, I even got to keep my benefits.

I agree with senior management, there is no 'fear factor' at EK and the pilots 'overwhelmingly agree' with the direction EK is taking.

Things an Emirate pilot SHOULD be saying: "i am grateful i am getting to fly the super A380s/B777s on the world's leading airline EK's inter-national/continental routes so early in my career and i am getting paid a fat cheque to do that"

He might not be a Wannabee for long.. EK management might be starting to recruit such 'raw talent' i.e. blind obedience with no questions asked and blind belief in the all mighty EK to try settle the ranks from within ;)

And Tango, you work for ek do you? Your opinion is about as valid as his :hmm:

I just love to mingle with all the office dwellers who come down to use the ground floor Costa despite having a huge one on the 2nd floor. I didn't need that caffeine hit before my 3rd TA in a row anyway...

Haha...now that did make me chuckle Bus Driver. Last time I heard a certain manager announce in front of the auditorium that "he was working with Boeing and Airbus to design the single pilot cockpit" I just rolled my eyes.:rolleyes:

I now realize he's far further along with his trial than I could have imagined!:p
