PWC is world respected in audit, and I don't want to hear about the Oscars, that was a one off, we all have done it.
As OBOGS said, Corps, especially in this part of the world have a lot of "maneuvering" space. At Emirates it is the PAYMENT TO OWNER, which comes from the profit, not after.
And that "gentlemen" is where we as Emirates pilots get screwed out of our profit share.
The financial "Boys" love this kind of stuff, use the payment to owner as a cost, screw the employees out of profit share, they don't f---king care.
That's transparency to them, the kind that keeps the funding going.
