EM&EM a.k.a. Fish
Congratulations on the nice work in the form of Outer Marker, the quarterly magazine of Emirates' Flight Operations Department, which I found both informative and entertaining. Being no literary critic I'll suffice by saying that reading the magazine was an overall satisfying experience for me.
The magazine is not restricted for internal distribution within Emirates, as your editorial in the subject issue says "But although we have adopted a more corporate look, which is essential when one considers that the Outer Marker is distributed to other carriers worldwide.......".
I am afraid I cannot subscribe to your contention regarding copyright. The information and material contained therein is for general consumption. Therefore, your argument for removal of the excerpt from the magazine, which I have placed in my lead post, stands rebutted.
I agree that a single recruitment sample does not completely reflect the demographic representation, but it definitely coveys the trend. So for the sake of authenticity, you may provide the full demographic representation within Emirates flight deck crew, as the data is available to you. Your cooperation in this regard is solicited in order for the controversial recruitment ethics of some EK training and standard appointees under discussion here, to be seen from a more accurate perspective.
I have never insinuated that Emirates practices a racially discriminatory hiring policy. What I have been saying all along is that there exists a rogue element within Emirates’ recruitment loop. This rogue element, it appears, is at variance with Emirates' equal opportunity policy and the recruitment results of successful candidates and the demographic trend from Outer Marker substantiate the observation.
I appreciate your concern that some on the outside may have a misplaced view that Emirates is a racist company. Nevertheless, if the rogue recruitment element is left unchecked and unfettered then it will be safe to assume that it has Emirates' tacit approval. It is hoped that you and your colleagues, that are interested in seeing the highest standards of service in all spheres being synonymous with Emirates, will leave no stone unturned to correct recruitment misreporting and willful disregard of company policies. This is imperative if Emirates is to be worthy of all the accolades and awards.
Happy flying.
