Well done to the medical staff at EGHQ for allowing this practice to be carried out.
If you ever have to go to the "sick chamber/cubicle" outside H Al H's orafice just cough, hack, fart and spit as loud as you can until he decides you should be outside Horsefaces office instead.
Of course they could use all those floors of newly empty office space at EGHQ to have the pilots report to when sick.
Seems like EKs managers took their management classes at the Robert Mugabee School of Ethical and Managerial Skills.
Reason number, God knows how many, why no one should go join Emirates Airlines. If this example as to how they treat their staff is not enough to convince you to stay away from Emirates, along with all the other posts on the subject, then you deserve what you get should you join.
Emirates labor practices are third world at best and would not be accepted in any civilised country.
