Agree re: Sir M. I joined a lot later than some of you but did cat the tail end of his tenure. What a humble and classy guy. Had time for everyone, always a smile if you passed him in HQ.
The way they are running things now, the ones who need to "manage expectations" are Emirates. Manage right down from the world''s best airline to work for to "only if my kids are starving and even then I'll consider turning tricks first"....
Sad. And all from arrogance and inability to take constructive feedback
I always suspected this management style would turn EK into QR 2.0. They are so desperate to recruit new crew they are re-emailing the ones they rejected at final interview a few months back and asking them to join! I know this first hand from one of these applicants.
