What If......
WHAT IF…….. I took that offer from Emirates 18 months ago?
After having beers with friends from EK I came to the following conclusion:
1) Would have been far better of financially. No pay rise in CX in the last 18 months vs. EK pay rise.
2) Work for a company who know how to do business and not hedge fuel at record highs. No their fuel is not for free but it was common knowledge that over $100 a barrel was unsustainable.
3) Not have to read a very depressing Friday Brief from the spin doctors to start my weekend.
4) Would not have very one sided LOA offered to me and try to make me feel that it’s my duty to help them by showing interest.
5) Would have been closer to a command.
6) Would have been in jail for assaulting an Arab.
Like all airlines EK is feeling the pinch, had a drop of +80% in business, but they are not crying to the employees about it. They’re looking into the future and how best to approach it with out blaming the employees.
