I'm trying to get a job there in ops to hopefully eventually get work on the 748. I actually got past the secretary the other day on the phone and spoke to somebody influential. Who do i send a cv to. Yes, I should have asked on hte blower but excitement got the better of me. Thanks, well you've got to start somewhere!

The root cause
In reply to Ghost-rider, I thought the root cause of all the problems at Emerald was obvious.
Because one man on his own controls the whole shooting match it must be down to him (don't you think ?).

A right shower
G-MANN, As a company and the way it operates-- the quote you gave is I feel not far from the truth, however the many people that work for this company are the nicest group of people collectively you could wish to meet and I'm not just talking about Pilots. Engineers, Ops staff, Admin staff etc all do a hard job (under the circumstances) and give 100%, but I feel this isn't good enough for higher management.
Happy days may be here again soon I just want to know when please ?????????
PS--- Please free the DADA 1

No idea if any of these guys work for Emerald. But Giz A job makes a fair comment.
All staff at Emerald work hard, but can be unappreciated. As a pilot, its a good place to build hours, experience and get a command, faster than most places.
Take your pick. There are very few airlines that actually have aircraft you still hand fly for the entire flight on raw data. We do. That takes skill. Starting a career here is a great way to build experience and a solid base for a career.
Unfortunately the constant roster changes, due to low crew, mean a very disrupted life. The low pay doesn't help either.
And as for Lala, Dada or Dopey, aren't we better off without him? Can't be bothered to say who he is or why he has such an axe to grind.

I don't recall dada (for that is his name - not Lala, he will be upset!) suggesting he has an axe to grind. Maybe he could see what was happening there and got out. He is, as we all are, entitled to an opinion. His views appear consistent with those of others on this thread and various Emerald threads from the past. He just has a slightly less subtle way of expressing them!
To be quite honest, the more I read about Emerald the more I tend to agree with dada. And I thought I had it bad!

What's that then, a quick cote of white paint and twenty quids worth of green squares, how tipically Emerald, sorry "emerald", cheap. I guess the capital letters must have been a bit steep. Still haven't got my expenses either!

Capt Jones - shame you feel the need to ridicule the new scheme - especially considering the amount of work put in by the FO who designed it - suppose that's the difference between those who try to make a difference and those who never will !!

Balpa recognition
At long last BALPA is starting to make its presence felt at Emerald, for too long the Pilots have been left without any formal representation, had the Company treated their Pilots fairly then there would never have been any need to go down this road.
Relationship between Pilots and Management have never been this low and its a sad day that BALPA have to come and mediate.
Effective Management could have sorted this out years ago but man management is sadly lacking in this company.
Emerald could be a great company to work for if it respected its staff and the continued effort people put in just to make it work.
The daily moral boosters Management dish out don't appear to be having the desired effect.
A happy workforce is a productive workforce.
Happy days are here again (soon)
