Jetstar advertising for drivers in the Middle East
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Emirates is prepared for this and has put a red box at flt ops for resignations , fill it up boys ,the more Captains that leave we can replace with new Captains on lower salary steps.
30 went for interview up to 20 captains and 10 f/os may leave , but thats about the maximum.
Realistically will probably be 2 f/os and maybe 12 captains.
Just need a quick trip back to Atlanta for a re-fill.

Scooter, you have hit the nail on the head although you are too thick to get that pilots should be on the same side. Your turn will come as well when you are asked to lower your earnings, and get shafted by EK.
Remember though that the people who jump ship first are those that are capable and qualified, and most of those who stay behind are the dead wood who cannot find other jobs, or who hope that things will improve if more and more leave.
Emirates is all about replacing people with new ones at a lower cost. It is not about careers, and great new shiny airplanes. It is not a company that wants to grow together with its employees and share its success.
You can say that this is what is happening at home as well, but at least there you are home, with friends and family. Emirates cares about the bottom line, and not about honouring contracts etc.
It should be known by now to everyone that Emirates is not about a long term employment. Come and discover if you still believe that this is a place for you ....

How many did Ek get at the recruitment road shows, anyone know...I have heard a figure of 60-70 have been offered jobs
It also appears that the people taken from upgrades on the 330 have been royally shafted...Excuse given is they couldn't release 340 pilots, but most of the peeps being transitioned to the dark side are ,yup you got it, 340 as well...Surprised? you shouldn't be.

Stolen from the Aussie threads
JETSTAR AND THE EK CONNECTION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It appears that the approx 50 EK boys offered positions in Jetstar (at somewhat above current employee contracts) have made a joint counter offer to EK.
Serving their required notice (along with their offer of employment with Jetstar), they have offered to remain on Gilligans Is. "IF" EK agrees to;
A) Open Sydney (and other) bases.
B) Increase income by 20%
C) Plus some other stuff
Well done boys!

A "joint" proposition? Someone must be dreaming. This sounds too close to unionised behaviour. But thinking of it, I'd like to be the one.
ie. concerning C) Plus some other stuff:
- LHR basings
- No more subcontinent departures between 8pm and 6am
- Jump seat for at least close family
Alas, someone must be dreaming

Wind-Up
Quite right Vors - sounds like a wind-up to me too.
As far as I can make out, the company's attitude is "Give us three months notice and Godspeed". Implication being, we can replace you with a (cheaper) DEC in that time.
Enough to make a man cynical

RU welcome back.
I'll take the bait. Best scientific wild ass guess is 20 offers of which 15 will take them. Mainly TRI/TRE that's what they seem to want.
And before you ask, no have not been offered a job yet, don't know if I really want it either.
