I thought you'd given up on this 'Emirates bashing' months ago but you just love winding us all up eh? We'll miss you posts greatly while you're away on holiday, spending your huge wad of cash generated from a spot of day off working.You've said in the past that you turned E.K down as it wasn't for you but your constant presence on this forum dictates to me otherwise. Like a spoilt child,you try to show that your toys are either worth more or are newer than the other childrens and find it a source of amusement to knock our day off rate.I don't rub YOUR face in it that as a charter pilot you have to eat that cottage pie slop with a plastic knife and fork while we get to choose from all 7 courses in first class,served with the finest irish linen. The point is that there is always some good and some bad in every Company and we are all aware,mostly,of what they are,until that is,Companies start changing the goalposts without consultation. Hence the reason for this particular forum.I do,however,agree that the sum offered to us for working a day off is a complete joke.Unskilled Workers in the Uk could pick up the same amount for a days decorating! We don't even get the day off back so i hope that all and i mean ALL pilots in Emirates should say no so the message gets across.The correct number and ratio of Captains and F/O's is what we want....and laptops for our CD ammendments please!
Finally,before your next posting,think carefully before knocking Dubai's employmet laws.Perfect they are not,but Dubai does provide a huge amount of jobs and money ( not £400 /day)For hundreds of thousands of people,which in turn support many thousands of families back in their own Countries.Most of their own Countries are either too poor or corrupt to care otherwise.I'm sure that if you're that concerned by the slave labour here in Dubai,donating a few days off payment to a few well deserving maids and construction workers would be greatly appreciated.Now you've got something to "get out of bed " for! I would,however,save those payments for when you need to give them back to your generous government in the form of increased taxes.You see,with the 160,000 new immigrants that arrived last month alone from the new EU Countries,something tells me you're going to need every penny you've got!
Speak to you soon no doubt.....off to the beach for a free holiday
