Use of sarcasm is an art that is often lost in Dubai as most of us/them completely miss a sarcastic remark by someone of a different culture.

or

lospilotos remark is the result of a company induced lobotomy that only allows literal translation or interpretation.

everybody have a good drink and focus on the real problem.

We will know in just a few hours how much the company respects us.
I am still banking on 10-12 weeks. As The Donald often says the profit is going to be HUUUGE!

I don't know how you came to that figure of 10-12 weeks!? It's written in black and white on the portal how it's worked out. I will only be 2 maybe 3 weeks max. Bet my mortgage on it

I'm pretty sure this is the only part of the world...and perhaps one of the few companies in the world...that announces its profit AFTER they pay the shareholder's dividend. What it means for us minions is it doesn't matter how much profit the company actually makes, it only shares what it wants to share after deciding how much goes to the shareholder (the govt). It increases or decreases its dividend depending on how much it feels it needs to give to the workers.

Therefore discussion about the "rules" of the profit share are moot..they decide exactly how much the profit exceeds the target every single year, and the actual profit has absolutely NOTHING to do with the equation.

2.2B at 3.68 = 8.096B
The other number was for the airline only, not the group!

10.24am: Emirates airline, one of the world’s largest carriers, made Dh7.1 billion for the full financial year ending March 31, 2016, up 56 per cent compared to the Dh4.6 billion it reported last year. Revenue fell 4 per cent to Dh85 billion.

From the local Pravda.
Of course I hope I'm wrong but...

That's just EK, but profit share is based on the whole group.
From gulf news:

The Group, which also includes airport and travel services operator, made Dh8.2 billion in the 12 months to March 31, compared to Dh5.5 billion a year earlier. Revenue fell 3 per cent to Dh92.9 billion due to the strong dollar.
