Adios BA,Hello Emirates

[Minesagrolsch]

I have heard a good (allegedly true) rumour that some of my colleagues in BA have pulled a fast one over the company.
Three guys bid for a command on the 777.As soon as they had completed the course and were on line,they handed in their resignation and joined Emirates as captains on their 777's.
The lure was a proper pay package,compared to the crap that BA currently dishes out and allegedly a bonus of UKL 1,000,000 after ten years service !!
Anybody got any further details,like who to contact at Emirates etc ??

I´d say that´s just a rumour.

Haven´t heard of EK taking DECs lately.
Long discussions in Middle East Forum.

But who knows...

......just another rumour!!!

The one million pound '10 year' bonus is a myth and EMA are certainly not taking direct entry capts as two I work with were recently offered jobs with them, but only in the RH seat.

But saying all that, never let fact get in the way of a good rumour ;-)

Thanks guys.Thought it was too good to be true.Just have to hope that BA gets a decent pay deal sorted.

Sorry guys no DEC in EK,unless you are a friend of C.R. and are from southern Africa

ROFL :) :)

One Million pounds? Would I still be here then?

Try 2% pay rise, 3 weeks profit share and a rapidly deteriorating climate between the pilots and the company.

(Touche - Minesagrolsch. I was laughing so hard I couldn't count)

1,000,000 is actually 1 million.Hope your three-times table is better than the rest of your maths otherwise you could be up there a long time !
