Where do you get those 1000 pilots out of a job figures. Sounds to me like half the Qantas pilots are goners ?? Is this not a tad exagerated ?
Second, no one is enjoying the fact that another airline is losing a good contract. Actually quite the contrary because we are bound to be next in line.
Nor are we happy to see people go to EK who is just bringing the airline world to a pile of rouble.......with thebhelp,of ex legacy airlines pilots ! How so ironic.
My point, only based upon a few posts I have seen , is that I strongly doubt EK will be the Bonanza you pretend it will be just because you're angry and frustrated.
That QF don't want to reach an agreement looks bloody obvious and that's how well your red tie tactic worked in the end.
I personally find nothing attractive in Dubaļ. It is tacky and vulgar, scorching heat ( mind you no flies exept around camels ) and worst of all....no decent pub.
I've worked there, I still fly there and each time, I just can't wait to go home.
