They can’t see the wood for the trees. Limited budget?? Manage your expectations???
Whats the 2018 budget for the ‘parked aircraft department ‘? Rumours they’re pretty hopeful this year.
At a time where airlines are ramping up for Summer, in a rebounding world economy, Emirates is parking aircraft due to ‘seasonal demand’.
This is the equivalent of a medium sized airline’s entire LH fleet being grounded.
There is one man responsible for this, and it’s the same man who has to sign off our pay review, the same one who still rubber stamps every single cabin crew application. The same one who turns around and orders 787 on a whim and without consultation.
The same one who hires his mates into the most senior positions - the most recent of which was fired for incompetency in his previous role in compliance, but makes a return to lead a much bigger Oversight department??
So yes, manage your expectations. The man would rather watch EK park 50 acft than ‘give those thieving Pilots another fil’
