Its clear that the young poster, Aiming high has had enough of paying his taxes, there is too many woke people around England for him, he knows a women is a women, and he wants to move to dubai where he might have to contend with a few vegan cabin crew but at least he can get a proper ploughMAN sandwich!

There's too much red tape for him in the UK, the unions are rubbish, his pays crap and his taxes high, the labour laws are pointless too. Whereas in Dubai he can get himself a cleaner and pay them 20pence an hour to clean his bog. He will never have a bog cleaner or somebody ironing his underwear and mowing his lawn in the UK. He gets a chauffeur to work and the driver will get his bag out of the trunk for him. These are the type of things that really impress these people. Makes them feel important.

He is suggesting that Virgin and BA handled the pandemic exactly the same way as Emirates which is completely wrong. There was criteria in place for identifying these job losses and the documentation is available. Whilst I agree that BA's wasn't great with fleet over seniority in part, Virgin's seemed to make a lot of sense and seemed relatively fair. Not sure how many redundancies virgin made, but BA somewhere in the region of 250. EK was 1500 plus, which is way more than all the UK airlines combined! Plus all these guys have had the opportunity to return to their jobs in the UK. Lots of people like White knight and Kenny the king were posting about easyJets pilot redundancies all the time. Easyjet didn't make one pilot redundant in the UK. Don't even think Ryanair made a UK pilot redundant. (not 100 percent sure of that but would be interested to know total number of Ryanair pilot redundancies)

Meanwhile in EK, the SVP of Training's son spent the whole pandemic on full pay and retaining his position, didn't even have unpaid leave. Funny.
Maybe I should add my bit as well…..and paste the seniority list of sacked 380 guys, a list with some interesting gaps in it…The gaps were all friends/ ex colleagues of a certain VP Fleet and were magically saved during the culling….clowns…
