Log into the portal, go to rosters, type into the duty code field RG. Select September 30th, check Capts and FOs and read the names on the extensive list of those leaving at the end of September alone. Not that TCAS will give a sh!t, but I'll be joining their ranks soon!

Yes EkPilot, and some great lads on the list as well. It will be sad to see most of them go as we all got a bloody good laugh from them.
Good luck gents, you have certainly made a fine move. Some great trips and a belly full of laughs over the years.

I talked to one of the recently departed 10+ year (Training) Captains who said not one person rang him from Flight Ops Management to discuss reasons why he was leaving or say good luck or even thanks for the past 10 years of your life.
Quite frankly I find it disgusting that a company can have that little regard for its experienced employees.
Clearly the dirham rules and his replacement will cost the company less than him.

I too am shocked and surprised....
Surprised that you are surprised at EK's total and completed lack of respect for any of there employees..
The dollar, dirham ,pound ,sheckel ,mexican jumping bean, in fact any form of currency means more to our ar....sorry managers ..
Some day accountants will learn that there is more to running a company than the balance sheet...

Does anyone at EK NOT have their applications out to other airlines? With so many very experienced trainers and line guys leaving that has to tell the group something and I don't think it is all about the falling dollar. Good luck to all that has submitted their retirement papers.

Mack Tuck, you just love to moan don't you. You poor little soul.
If someone in EK manangement had picked up the phone and rang your friend who has since departed to say "thank you and best of luck" I'm sure you would find a fault ie the person making the phone call wasn't high enough on the management ladder, or if a gift was forthcoming you would complain that it was cheap and tacky. What I'm trying to convey here is that you're a "bloody moaner". You must be an absolute joy to fly with.

Hello wee man.
How's your little life in your little 737.
Are you bored?
Search the threads as there is one here somewhere about re-applying to EK after missing out.
Incidentally, most of the threads and posters here in the ME involve a fair amount of moaning so if you don't like reading it how about staying Down Under.

Hi Mack Tuck, Thank you for your reply!
Life is ticking along pretty good. Went snow skiing at Mt Hutt with the children last Friday. On Saturday hired a 182 and took the family flying over the main divide to the West Coast for a couple of days. How can life be boring? back to work tomorrow. For interest sake, what do you do during your days off? Contact VN or other Asain carriers for DEC jobs by any chance?
Truth be known Mack, I think you're envious. Is the 777 that big a deal?
Good luck.
Ps. I have never applied to EK.

Hi Kiwi, I'm sorry to hijack the argument but could not resist. To answer for Mack Tuck, the 777 is no big deal. In fact no aircraft I have flown (9 commercial jet types) is any big deal after 3 months. But skiing with the family and flying a 182 over your beautiful country is a big deal and for the record, I am jealous! You seem to have your life sorted mate, don't ruin it by coming here!

I highly doubt Kiwi has his life sorted. He periodically writes a baseless condemnation or childish insult directed at anyone who shows any displeasure with EK. He says that Mack must a real joy to fly with, sarcastically implying the contrary. This is based on nothing at all, except that he doesn't like Macks level of frustration with EK. This is clearly an example of an individual who has no knowledge about the atmosphere of discontent at EK and what is causing it. I really have to wonder why Kiwi persists in taking shots at EK pilots when it should have no relevance to his life. If he had anything of consequence to say, anything at all based on an insight into conditions at EK, then it would be just a case of individuals disagreeing. Clearly Kiwi has some other agenda or perhaps he just likes to stir the pot.
He reminds me of the Republicans who decree that anyone not supporting the war in Iraq..... are not patriotic americans. Its analogous to anyone not totally supportive of EK's policies. Either that or he is a person of similar character attributes as BM/Tartan guy.
I'm not going to get into another round of pointing out the stupidity of his posts, but I do want to stress that he is well known for making assumptions and reaching conclusions about others based on nothing of substance.

Are you a conspiracy theorist after hours by any chance?
Look, Mensaboy, you need to spend less time reading novels and get out more to smell the roses! If I made no sense at all you would ignore me; which you don’t.
That was pretty sharp of you to pick up on my sarcasm regarding Mack. Good on you!!
Mack is a big boy and can defend himself rather than have his henchman (you mensa) come by and make a hash of it.
Off to bed, good night.

Whilst waiting for Pragmatics reasons for leaving I can't help but comment on Kiwis posts:
I'm no henchman but perhaps you, kiwi, could explain for credibility reasons more than anything else why this forum (EK and the Middle East) has such an interest for you?
I don't understand your arguments or issues with anyone on this particular forum if it doesn't involve you in any way at all...
It's a serious question; What are your motivations here?

Hi there,
In a hurry but best to reply;
Mutley Crew
Is that all you've got.
Marooned
With a handle like "Marooned" you are probably another poor little soul who cries himself to sleep at night. To answer your serious question; I have asked serious questions in the past but the problem is when logic is applied, some disgruntled EK pilots dissappear from pprune. Look into my history and you'll find some of us are still waiting for a reply from Toad Hall.
Chinny
Your post doesn't make much sense. You're either pissed or just plain thick.
Enjoy your day.
Kiwi.

Guys there was another posting I remember when everyone was ignoring a paticular person. Eventually he/she got so frustrated that no one was listening and he/she stopped posting on that perticular topic...so just ignor kiwi....unless he is bringing some truth out.....then you should come to terms with your situation. But I got to tell you its kind of fun.
