Emerald Again
 
Ive followed with interest the previous posts about emerald on here over the months.

I know a few Emerald employee's who are happy in there job, but every airline you will find that there are good and bad things.

The thing I dont understand, theres so many company staff on here - it would seem that are unhappy with things,

some sound advice, if you are not happy, then why dont you leave? and move over and give people like me a chance?

Now for something POSITIVE about EMERALD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I flew with the company to LPL from IOM a few weeks ago, what a great low cost service, great friendly staff and was on time unlike EURO DUTCH oops, i mean euro manx.

The company needs to market itself alot more and it will be a great success.

For a successful airline, it must have its support of its staff 100%, without this it will fail.

So, come on guys, lets stop slagging the airline off!!!!

yes all you need for a succesfull airline are some shiny GTI 748's and some smiling FA's...........right

all the gloss but still dross underneath!!!

no one is slagging the airline itself or 90% of the people working for it

just the few mangement idiots that manage the company into mediocrity

The product we manage to deliver is not under doubt. All the CC and flight deck monkeys do an excellent job.

GMIMA, the whole reason that airlines get away with treating people like c*ap is that at the moment there are lots of people around like yourself who will put up with it, just for the "priviledge" of an airline job. As long there is a high turnover of staff, then nothing will ever get fixed.

HighandTight 4th September 2004 10:56

Quite right. GMIMA - you are the sort of person we can do without. One that thinks he knows better than those who actually work for the company.

If you knew anything about aviation you would know that we cannot just 'leave'. It's not a case of phoning up and booking your next job on something shinier.

There are too many fools around who will work for nothing or allow themselves to be treated like dirt or undermine their colleagues, that make it so much harder for the rest of us to improve things.

Go away and learn something then come back when you know what you are talking about:yuk:

HIGH AND TIGHT


IVE WORKED IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY FOR MANY YEARS, FROM FLIGHT OPS, DISPATCHING, AND CABIN CREW, SO I DO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!

I NEVER SAID I KNOW BEST, BUT ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU IM SURE EMERALD CAN DO WITH OUT!

YOU KNOW WHERE THE DOOR IS! SO OPEN IT, AND CLOSE IT FIRMLY BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE.

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY .....golf mike alfa going down in flames


im sure you are experienced in all things aviation mima

but it would appear your quite happy to ignore the plight of your fellow staff.

MOB would be very proud of you your just the type of staff he is looking for

happy to be paid some of the lowest rates in the industry

happy to be endure poor working conditions and practices

happy with your head buired in the sand

wake up and check your surroundings and the management you work for.

they leave a lot to be desired and they will not try to fix things whilst they have complacent staff such as yourself.

Oh dear Jemima. No need to SHOUT........

For your info, I actually really quite enjoy the day to day work at Emerald, it's the constant bu**ering about that annoys me and I'll think you'll find the same amongst most of the crews.

If I'm the sort of person Emerald can do without, then that's 90% of the workforce gone then. Maybe you've got a chance then.......

redsnail 4th September 2004 20:25

Jemima,
I suggest you actually walk a mile in the pilot's shoes before slagging them off. What they speak of is the truth. A ride in the back isn't the same as slogging night in and out over winter freezing your proverbials off wondering where the taxi is and have they booked your hotel room.

I enjoyed the flying and the crew, I didn't like the phone calls when I was trying to sleep or the lack of information....

Fellas, relax, GMIMA's after a Jet Job

jeremy 4th September 2004 21:57

The only people that are happy working for the airline are the "FAT CATS" at the top.

Emerald Website
 
Silly question, but what has happened to the Emerald website.

Not so silly question, how many pilots were taken on after the recent recruitment drive.

cheers

Thats right - we haven't got enough crews, aircraft, spares, engineers, ops staff, hours in the day, or a pot to pass water in!!

Germstone 4th October 2004 20:43

To say all departments are spread thinly would be the understatement of the year.

Good thing is if we havnt got enough staff MOB will just work what staff he has got a lot harder and make them do more hours.

which of course makes us more efficient............doesnt it???

coopervane 4th October 2004 22:08

Any truth in the rumour that Emerald are setting up their own line station at Ronaldsway?

Emerald Command
 
What's going on with this ridiculous merry go round a certain Luton based F/O is being made to ride on in order to get his command training done? Why can't some one just make a proper and final decision, YES or NO, and leave it at that?
I think this a typical example of the crap the management of this company serve to their employees every day. If I was in your shoes mate, I'd leave!

74Freight 7th October 2004 16:28

The new website is
www.flyjem.com

The old one was www.emerald-airways.org

The org ( if my computer knowledge is correct) denotes a non-profit, charitable organisation, not sure if that describes emerald.

Capt I Jones, sorry seem to be a bit off topic, please say what is going on with the Luton F/Os command training (or lack of it)
