Hi Mr 35E
As many of us, we used to fly for flag carriers or charters , but in even in charter airlines, disorganization, lack of proficiency, amateurism , fear management and lies were never brought to such an art !!
The 3 , alomost 4 years of operation are not even an excuse . Hire the correct people at the right job, pay them accordingly and they will do the job, not the puppets we do have now, who hold hardly any kind of experience except their failures and/or mistakes in EY.....
Third world airline it is, third world airline it will stay
Now, why not leave ?, well giving up and cowardise are not the solution. Face the situation and do our best to make it improve.
Criticism is well known for its vertues in wertern world , and not for an offense nor an insult, as it is there. Nobody can tell the truth without being fired, how good is it ??
We all came here with hopes, which are vanishing at various rythm, according to personal grounds, situations etc...
EY remains the most expensive low cost carrier of the Middle East. We are not carrying any flag, except the one of our shame.
This being said, it is and stays a very good place to get a command and to leave soon without training bond, as soon as you get the requirements and get the chance to have an interview in an airline with decent wages.
Abu Dhabi remains a nice place to live, except in July and August but do you want to live in Manchester in winter ? No way !! It's relatively safe, getting a bit more expensive than it used to be but still within our range.
Accomodation used to be huge problem , it's now a bit easier, and it would be much easier if they put the right people at the right job again. Talk to all the guys dealing with a certain lady in Accomodation dept........
As you said, there is no perfect place, but at least when you work your a## off, you get something back in your wallet. Mine remains empty, desperately empty after 105 hours a month.......
