MAXMELDO if you read carefully MR8's post, it is not personally talking about you, it is talking about the system and how although Emirates management talks about loads of qualified candidates applying, they seem not to be showing up for interviews. The fact that you caught on to it and took it personal probably means, that you do not feel that comfortable with yourself. I also notice that before you even join Emirates you have started to have a negative view about the guys here.... It will not get you far..... You are right though, Emirates is about perceptions, it depends where you came from and where you want to go. If you come from, as you mention, a !!!!ty little outfit, or even one which is a flag carrier but is worse than Emirates, then yes you will enjoy it. The point is that we were all hired here because of our expertise. We have something to offer Emirates, in return for what we thought would be a good salary and a good stable and rewarding career. Emirates has gone from strength to strength because it has hired good people in all departments and has taken their expertise and profited on them. They have gained from all of us and it shows when you compare Emirates to other regional or world airlines. The trend has changed though, and now Emirates is hiring guys that have nothing to offer, and are just doing a job. You will see for yourself if you are accepted, that when you stop investing in your business, when you stop hiring in talent, when all you are interested in, is for guys who do not bitch and moan, and have nothing to offer except take from your employement, then you start losing the competetive edge, and you also suffer financialy and operationaly. Do not take my word for it, look at Gulfair, look at Boeing. They both suffered because they stopped doing what they were doing well... they went for maximizing profits, not providing a good product. It is a fact that every airline that started eroding its package stopped being on the cutting edge...
Finaly since we are talking about perceptions and how Emirates does its business, all you have to do is go to our Headquarters and look at our building. It has been renovated to look great on the outside and where people see it on the ground floor. They have gone to great lengths to make it look posh and inviting. Once you get on the elevator and get on the inside you can see the true picture of the environment where employees work. An old building which is just average. Emirates is all about image and marketing, it has a great package on the outside and just averageon the inside as our EGHQ building....
