Re: Virgins off to Emirates
Quote from HALAS:
"try and stay in your own back-yard. No one likes a busy-body!"
Thats pretty rich coming from the middle east and cruising the Australian pages.
You must be homesick as I get sometimes.
HALAS.....I would have thought you ex Ansett guys would be happy to have a job rather than some of the whinging I copped from a few of your guys in HK recently.
Also HALAS there is such a thing as the Central Bank of the UAE.
To quote their web page:
"it is also the banker and financial advisor to the Government."
Just go to the following link:
http://www.cbuae.gov.ae/
I somehow are doubting you actually work for Emirates if you get that one so woefully incorrect.
Agree with Tim that the rats are starting to desert the sinking ship at EK!
By the way HALAS my mates in VB are doing well and enjoy their job as well as living in Brissy.
They agree though that the rostering could be improved but heah.
Now go and play in your sandpit HALAS and stay in your own back yard!!

Maybe I am reading this incorrectly, but the way I read that web attachment the Central Bank of the UAE (which according to HALAS doesnt exist) functions in much the same way as the Reserve Bank of Australia or the US Federal Reserve? 
I think HALAS has been out in the sun too long.

Fact - HALAS is behaving like a pratt that has little to contribute to this thread.
Fact - I had to spend an hour the other night listening to someone that was both an ex Ansett as well as an ex Emirates pilot whining for an hour about how it really is and how they are treated.
It was painful really.I dont know how either Ansett or Emirates ever hired this guy.
Fact - there is a Central Bank of the UAE HALAS and
Fact - HALAS sees life through rose coloured glasses
FACT - those going to work for Emirates need to know these facts.

Re: Virgins off to Emirates
It's off topic a bit - for which I apologise.
If sufficient people depart EK, can we re-arrange the phrase, "rats deserting a sinking ship" and make it "rats sinking the desert ship"?

Yes, can confirm a few more have headed for greener pastures. More recent departures appear to be Air Japan and Emirates.
The B737 Japan jobs advertised today will certainly lead to many more departures.
The vast majority leaving are FO's who now have seen command time climb into 5-10 yrs with news of only 2 new aircraft nett this year.
All of this will place an interesting twist on the current EBA negotiations if the long awaited Asia Pacific pilot shortage continues as reported in Flight International this week.

Jetblues,
I can't see a handful of resignations having much effect on the company's approach to the EBA considering that the cost of training replacements is not theirs. I would have thought that the resignation rate (which has been almost non existent) is approaching a "normal" level for an airline like DJ.

WW maybe, maybe not. Yes VB does not have to pay for the individual ratings. New recruits do however cost the company due to their contribution to the training costs ; training captains, safety FO's, simulator checks, crewing admin etc etc.
Yes minor numbers leaving are not a problem and probably expected and planned on. I will stick my neck out and suggest there are up to 100 VB pilots with active applications at other airlines throughout the world.
