Zerozol,
Lol you make a point there, but I was refering to the day I joined (DOJ for those who know this acronym too well...) which was 14th of March 2008 :
"23 year old male Flight Attendant currently working for Emirates and has been since March 2008"
Just to add some 'FACTS' in the discussion, I have seen my promotion postponed until further notice because of the rescaling of the fleet. I will have to operate in Cattle Class for some time before I can move up to Business Class. And this applies to every single hopeful crew who was waiting for an upgrade at this point.
