Ruserious, if that's the case I must apologize to Scooter... 
it's just that his choice of words, typing... seemed a lot like cheeseys...
As for Sheikh Ahmeds:
" u com to yetihaid moonee fairey gud yand fli fairey naice u laike yevereebodee"
Let me see if I can get to english...
"you come to etihad, money very good ? fly very nice, you like everybody "
Hmmm
, well - nope. Guess I didn't manage 
Anyway - enjoy the day in the sun!

I feel so bad for you little pilots in the sandpit, I don't know what to say.......
It must be hard coming to emirates and not getting the clout you thought you were going to get as a driver.
But hey you grow and you learn these robes are not so stupid after all, and the best bit is that they got you in a cage running like rabied rabbits one after the other.
Reminds me of the SQ F/O contracts
Keep running!

Talk of the sun and here she shines! 
Or was it: Talk of the devil ... ?
Anyhow... hi Tiramisu...
I keep wondering why you keep your job if you only complain... or do you just complain about the pilots complaining? Couldn't ever figure that one out... Whatever... Enjoy your life in UP-tower...

Somethiing about human nature
It is a well known fact that once used to a smell, humans have a tendency to seek the same smell for their own comfort, no matter how bad it is...................
I let you deduce your own thoughts on that............
But in the meantime Hi guys! Leave was good and I am ever so pleased to announce y triumphant return to pprune in the not so fragrant DXB, just to meet up with the ever so conceited EK wannabes who never made it, never will and who will always complain, what's new?
I ain't complaining, but not surprised that some of you did miss me...... It's perpetual proof that even pilots all mighty next to God at 350, still need the guidance of a mere stewardess to put them right when they are wrong.
God save us!
Incha Allah!

Hi Tiramisu, look, let's cut the crap. How about a date? Come on.... You know you want to! At pleast let me get the chance to know you better, to wine and dine you treat you to a few nice evenings out, show you the sights of Dubai and keep you away from your PC for a few days. Who knows, you might discover life?

If anyone needs to be shown life it's you Secure ID.
what do you want to show me in Dubai, your etchings?
Wake up and smell the coffee, you speak of Dubai as if you own it, been here longer than you have bet you were still picking your pimples when I started flying.
Why don't you go down to the american hospital, you might just get one of those ladies of dubious affection to give you some attention while you wipe the Tahine from the 2 dirham shawarma off your shirt.
And if you don't know where the american hospital is pm me i'll give you directions.

Hi Tiramisu,
I really wonder why anyone who has been so long in DXB as you claim you have, lives in UP-Tower - if your profiles speaks truth... Wouldn't be my choice. I for one have been in DXB before UP was even built...
Still can remember when they moved all the new ones into that building...patch after patch... my former flatmate just missed it by 2 patches. Lucky her...
By the way - what was the threat about again before Tiramisu turned up?

Hi Eliason.
Never said I lived in UP Tower, they all think I do and that I am a stewardess or whatever.....simply shows you how good they are at ass-you-me-ing!
Been assumed to be everything under the sun on this forum.
Drivers, what nonsense drivel

Hi Tiramisu,
I know you never SAID you lived in UP-Tower - but if you look at your profile - you typed it...
"Location: UP Tower " Sorry for "ass-you-me-ing" that I am able to read... 
Is that an outing by the way: "Never said I lived in UP Tower, they all think I do and that I am a stewardess or whatever..."? Cause if you ain't related to EK - why on earth do you keep messing up good threats ?
Don't let "boredom" be your answer... - "frustration" would be more believable

From Tiramisu's many posts on this and earlier threads about EK, I've always imagined her(?) to be an ex-Qantas FA now resident in Dubai whose only experience of tech crew/cabin crew interaction is the often poisonous atmosphere that has long existed between tech and cabin crew in that once fine airline. I say ‘once fine’, for it no longer is, thanks almost entirely to people with attitudes like hers(?) who now dominate its cabin crew numbers.
I have never encountered even a hint of the nastiness that she(?) would have readers believe is widespread between cabin crew and tech crew in EK. I acknowledge that there are a few personalities among the tech crew who I’m very glad I don’t have to deal with in the work environment, but - full credit to the old recruiting system - I think few would disagree that such people are few and far between. However, the atmosphere Tiramisu would have us all believe exists between cabin crew and tech crew is simply not the way it is… except perhaps when she(?) is on the crew. That’s if she(?) really is EK crew.

Wow, this thread is great!!! I was starting to get bored with EastEnders again, now that the Chrissie Watts / Sam Mitchell storyline has eventually ended, and was wondering what to do with my spare time!
This thread is the best Soap Opera I have seen for ages, although it smacks a little more of The Bold and The Beautiful than EastEnders........
When's the next installment??????
It's great to know that EVITA has a lead role in something useful at last.

Resignations
Allegedly according to someone who has just had his exit interview, we are up to 48 resignations this year. I believe that AB (from the emerald isle) is number 48. The other little rumour is that they have allowed for up to 100 resignations in their planning for this year. How's that for a quality statement 
Just as well the 380 is going to be delayed

Roll of the Dice
You might be onto something here RU.
Replace 10+ year EK captains, mostly in their mid to late 40s and with 2.3 kids (over 100K DH a year in school costs) with 50+ yr old DECs at a lower pay grade and with no kids. Thereby saving the 20% needed off the costs. Do it by treating the old hands like $&*t until they leave.
What price the experience we have of flying in these chaotic skies? No $ value attached, so the beancounters ignore it. Can EK find the number of DECs needed though?
TC is a beancounter at heart and also a gambler. This time he is gambling with the company's future. But he's already got the manor house in the Cotswolds, so if it all goes pear shaped, a safe haven awaits.

Indeed,according to FO I just flew with his exit interview,there were 46 so far in 2006,budgeting for 100+
DEC entry hrs lowered to 8k,new joiner,and updrade failures up,recruitment way off on the numbers.Planes will be parked unless AS is a magician.
Instead of budgeting for 100 to leave,why not budget to keep them to stay?
The sound of silence and total denial in communication is astonishing.Just unbelievable as EK tries to expand we hear NOTHING as to what is really going on at the coal face.
The pub awaits.QB

If they are planning for 100+ resignations this year don't expect much in May. Sounds like they have already factored in the bad news. Perhaps underestimating departures yet again of course.
