EK management on parade
Keeping up their charade
One by one we fall
They never heard our call
How long will this last
Before we hear the blast
A hull is lost
They care only about the cost
Can crew be blamed
Its usually what they claimed
Watch out mere mortals
For that is exactly what you are
Give them an inch
And watch them screw you, its a cinch!!!!

Resignations?? what resignations.... everybody happy here, nobody leaving...

res·ig·na·tion /ˌrɛzɪgˈneɪʃən/ [rez-ig-ney-shuhn] –noun

1. the act of resigning.
2. a formal statement, document, etc., stating that one gives up an office, position, etc.
3. an accepting, unresisting attitude, state, etc.; submission; acquiescence: to meet one's fate with resignation.


AHHHH, I see now, you must be refering to numeral 3.......

Wanna job with pprune?

Apply to EK, I'm sold that there are a couple of characters (done by one of course) that are tasked to sit on this site and throw propoganda? Think about it, pprune is the only democratic way we can have our say. They going to have to have a anti deter!!!

I can tell you there will be one other going in first thing on Sunday!

Can anyone tell me who is the best one to submit a resignation to? Someone in ops or would HR be better? No one seems to know who's running the show these days.
For an excellent synopsis of what Dubai's really like:
UAE Report
Of course, if you actually live in Dubai you won't be able to see this page without one of the technical workarounds.

WOW

That UAE Report link is mind-blowingly accurate. Says almost everything and provides links to just about all the bulls__t we have been on about for the last few years, reccommended reading for all UAE wannabees,

thanks geespot.

Perhaps if the fleet manager/HR/take your pick had responded to, or even so much as acknowledged previous emails/voicemails/desperate pleas for communication, the resignation would not even be going in.

irony is so, like, ironic.

The UAE Report is factually correct but has little effect on most peoples lives here. Ok I can't get pregnant but I am actually quite pleased that I don't have to watch tonsil hockey games at the beach. Shows what a saddo I have become.

Its an Islamic country with Islamic laws which many people, including locals, regularly break in their own homes without any comeback just like in the rest of the world. Having a Boy/Girlfriend, holding hands etc is not a problem. Getting pi$$ed and shagging someone on the dancefloor in Rock Bottoms is more likely to be noticed.

Lets face it Dubai is to most people a pretty open society and gets more so as they try to attract tourists from around the world. The Sheiks don't want you doing it on the doorstep but 'out of sight, out of mind'.

Most people that resign leave because the company has pissed them off or the people/drivers but not the police and government. The most likely reason I will leave is to do with kids education and job opportunities not sharia law.
