4,052 New Cabin Crew
From AAR end of year review - "349 Ab Initio courses to train 4,052 new cabin crew".
Hardly something to brag about. Perhaps if some effort went into retaining people, rather than pissing them off - the training load / cost might be well and truly reduced. Hell, we might even have some experience (instead of a kindergarten) in the cabins...

Counting on your support he says! Sorry AAR but the workforce is too far past the goodwill to go the extra mile anymore! The terms and conditions and changes which have led to a tired and demoralised workforce leads to unmotivated staff who can't give a 
The truth will show in 2015, as this is going to be the year that a change will come in EKs staff where people are leaving in preference to putting up with such nonsense and complete lack of respect for its staff.

Arabs are fascinated with sizes and large numbers. I guess nobody told them that some numbers are better small.

This is what one commenter thinks of AAR (I don't know much about him):
Whole comment can be found this link:

Sandy:
While the Airline has been very successful in its marketing, branding and expansion, I can sense a growing lack of morals, ethics, common sense, social competence within the organization. Greed, general incompetence, laziness and “taking the easiest road” is everywhere, as is many employees paralyzing fear of doing something wrong, taking any kind of responsibility outside their work description, and pointing out cracks and problems in procedures and organizations. A lot of this stems from one persons table, AaR. This person’s inability and social and cultural incompetence is a major factor that eats this company from the inside. That he is an “untouchable” and at the same time sits on 2 chairs is extremely unfortunate. He seems to enjoy warning, scaring, punishing, shouting at and firing employees. This colors the attitudes and behaviors downwards…

Im no fan of EK management but that do not fly emirates blog is just a load of BS. Some disgruntled nit wit being led by their ego on a stupid rant.
Glad to meet you, vfenext. I am the stupid one who writes those stupid things.
If you have any doubts regarding credibility of that blog, you can ask me about it, but, please, ask here (not in pm), I would love to provide you with evidence that everyone can read.
Kind regards,
Dragana
Edit. I guess you haven't noticed that blog contains many stories, from many different people, not just from "some disgruntled nit wit". You should read the whole blog.
Or you think that hundreds of people who left their comments and stories there are nit wits as well?

Well replied Dragana,
You cannot beat the truth and being open and honest. I would like to hear the poster who opposes your site and post to come up with a rant/question session here and see how well he/she fairs!

I know several people who have worked for EK (CC and flight deck), and it's what I've heard from them that is one of the many reasons I boycott the airline.
Foul place, foul airline.

Apologies, Dragana. Having read your blog over many days, your ability to tell it like it is is clear to see. I ain't crossing you, lady!!! 450,000 it is. So for every 1 cabin crew EK recruited in 12 months, 100 times that number have read your blog in four months. An interesting statistic.

IMHO one person is going to be responsible in destroying this airline.
