Aussies at EK

[atiuta]

Give HR a break, they have higher standards of English than that displayed by Sinbad. My estimate is ICAO level 2.

[FlyingCroc]

Ok

But why is it that you see so many muslims drinking alcohol in their dish dashs in Dubai?

[Hook]

I think this thread should be renamed the Muttley vs Sinbad Alcohol Rules thread...........
I also think that the Aussie Gentleman who initiated the thread now believes that life in DXB is great for a tee-totaller and confusing for someone who's not!

To be fair, Sinbad's first post had too many large inaccuracies in the figures, and stretched the meaning of the word "approximate". Suggest one looks at the EK website data for more accurate info.

And as someone mentioned, nothing beats spending a few days here with one's family and meeting a few of the line chaps in EK for their first hand gen.
Don't know what life in the Ozzie Air Force is like, but would like to think that starting off at Ek would be a good introduction to civilian flying.

[Sinbad1]

Drat and double drat...

I suppose this is not a bad way to spend my day off to try to educate someone like you Muttley Do Something

First of all Attuta (attitude??), As for the presentation written in poor English, as I said to you before the figures were from the HR of EK, and the information was in fact copied and pasted directly from the HR document. Do yourself a favor and before you start shooting off your mouth and making verbal diarrhorea with regards to qualifications and places of employment, go to your linguistic masterpiece of a contract from your EK HR and check. But of course you know better...


As for you Muttley (do something), please do not stop replying to my remarks as I shall be very disappointed and bored. I am determined to educate you with regards to the local law of the country you claim to know so very well.

The following is an extract from the following link from the Australian governemnt:
http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/zw-gi/view/Advice/United_Arab_Emirates

"Drinking or possession of alcohol without a United Arab Emirates Ministry of Interior liquor permit is illegal and could result in arrest and imprisonment. Alcohol is served at bars in most major hotels (although not in the Emirate of Sharjah) but is intended only for guests of the hotel. Travellers who are not guests of the hotel, and who consume alcohol in the restaurants and bars, are required to have their own personal liquor licences. Liquor licences are issued only to non-Muslims who possess United Arab Emirates residency permits. These licences only permit the holder to purchase or consume alcohol in the Emirate which issued the licence (for example, a permit issued in Abu Dhabi is not valid in Dubai). It is illegal to drink alcohol and drive a vehicle.", But you Muttley can do it, yeah..yeah

I believe Muttley is a mongrel dog, but you of course are not as ugly as he is, well I hope not. Oh, I am not a Canadian who lives in the sandpit between Abu Dhabi and Sharjah me old mate. I wish I was at that age. Drat and double drat..

By the way, are you the Bankstown pilot who flies one of those bug smashers with 150 hours and a PPL licence who have been spotted having a drink of VB with one of those Arabs wearing a dish dash in DXB and got a job as an EK pilot couple of years ago??
Safe and happy flying to ALL

[atiuta]

Sinbad, have you thought about a name change to Piranha?

[ironbutt57]

That's a 3-pointer for Sinbad........

[Sinbad1]

ironbutt57

Thank you for your compliment, but what is the score now?

Muttley where are you? please do not disappoint me, I am waiting.

atiuta, I am sorry I did not get the connection with the Amazonian fish!!!!! please do enlighten me. would I be correct if I assume you mean Tenacious!!

Safe and happy flying to all.

[Sinbad1]

correction once again

Dear Muttley, I say it with all the sincerity in my heart. Please allow me to correct you once again and shed some light on a few things. I truly understand how you feel, I used to train people like you (no offence intended).

1. You are obviously more ignorant on the diplomatic and foreign affairs matter than I expected (I am surprised the Aussie government let you out). That's OK, judging by your knowledge I do not really expect you to know this. Please allow me to explain; It is the responsibility of the foreign office of any country to obtain up to date information on any law that their nationals might be visiting, and therefore this information is transmitted via the embassies and other foreign offices. Why? Firstly to warn their citizens of the dangers of being prosecuted and so effectively to avoid diplomatic conflict. So to answer your question YES the Aust gov't is now the expert on UAE LAW.

2. Your Quote"I don't see any LAW you've quoted"

Try this: Article 49(7) No 21of 1995, also the UAE Penal Code No. 3 for 1987.

3. Your Quote "From what he's posted about the EK operation here, it's clear Sinbad has no idea about that, either".

I dare you once again to quote me with any remarks to EK operation, I never posted any remarks about EK operations.

4. Your quotes "your desperation to recover a little face" and "Meanwhile, back to school, you're running up a bill on mummy's internet... ", and "Bullsh**tting won't help your argument".

I would expect a lot more maturity from an EK pilot like you!

5. Your quote "Sinbad, if you really are a pilot, please let us know which airline you work for so we can avoid flying with them...

I will give you a clue, I carry four bars - GOLD that is, and I rule and whatever I say to people like you, you stand up and take note!! GOT IT MAMMY'S BOY????? oh and I earn twice as much as you. HAHAHAHAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAA................!!!!

"STIUTA"...

ps the gulf news article is the true reflection of the law!!!!!!!! you should Know this me old mate.

Safe and happy flying to ALL.

Muttley,

One of the most nicely played pieces of wind-up artistry I've seen!

Sinbad,

When you find yourself at the bottom of a hole, STOP DIGGING

[Sinbad1]

Digging a hole

Muttley, speaking of my mother tongue not being English, what are you trying to say here???!!! "I'll hazard a guess re your username, here, and if I'm right, it's not "attitude" but you could re-name sinbad to: "STIUTA"... And he probably does..."

Now, who's taking medication here? Lets be clean about this Muttley!

As for my profession I do not bullsh*t like Frank Abagnale Jr (catch me if you can).

Muttley "Pretty average wind-up...." . Wizofozoo, I think you got this wrong big time?? Who has been winding up who? "When you find yourself at the bottom of a hole, STOP DIGGING" You should tell your mate Muttley to stop digging - but then again that's what dogs do.... Maybe he should change his username to "Mole".

WIZO If you are another EK pilot I might have to lodge an ASR to the DGCA in DXB on grounds of lack of IQ. If you put your IQs together you might get double digits!

Now where did I put that medication.....

Safe and happy flying to all

[harry the cod]

Would someone be kind enough to remind me what this thread was originally about?







Anyone......................?

[violate]

I might have to lodge an ASR to the DGCA in DXB on grounds of lack of IQ

And if you and your IQ could find a DGCA in the UAE you would be a genius, its called the GCAA, has been for nearly a decade

[Flying Spag Monster]

Not this one again, did you do that on purpose violate to futher drift this thread? DGCA is a person, who heads the GCAA, an organisation. Now the poor guy who started this thread was wondering about EK, I guess he now has a very clear picture of some of the people who work here. To answer his question, EK have taken guys direct from the military despite what another poster said, however in those cases they were jet guys, Tankers and one or two fast jet guys etc, if you have this time then apply. If turbo prop, then I am afraid that EK is not interested at the moment. (Don't know why to be honest) but why not apply any way...someone has to be first...

[Sinbad1]

DGCA

Let me see, another EK Hi IQ staff. Allow me to spell it for you, it is abbreviation of the ....Department of general civil aviation....Authority, Got it??? there's is a good lad, now run along as good boy to your EK lounge.just Question where were you when the GCAA started in 1996???

Safe and happy flying to All

[violate]

Question where were you when the GCAA started in 1996

Right here, if you must know but that has nothing to do with anything of any significance.

Just in case you need to check your vernacular, www.gcaa.ae/en/

The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) is a federal, autonomous body set up to oversee all aviation-related activities in the United Arab Emirates.

Before you start hurling insults around of low IQ, I would check your own work for accuracy and logic, it is somewhat lacking in genius.

FSM and everyone else, sorry for the thread drift, I'm outta here

“And if you and your IQ could find a DGCA in the UAE you would be a genius”

Streuth…. You blokes are unreal… Listen cobber, the above are your highly intelligent insulting quotes. It appears to me that the EK (some) pilots appear to be severely handicapped when it comes to processing basic understanding. For you VIOearly I shall use the phrase attention deficit syndrome

But I have to say you really impressed me with the use of the word “vernacular”….!!!!

VIOLATE
”The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) is a federal, autonomous body set up to oversee all aviation-related activities in the United Arab Emirates”

You have just made my day… PURPLE..my glass is always empty…!!


Nurse…oh Nurse…….I have rang the bell and asked nurse for my medication for today…. I wonder where on earth she has gone!!! I think I need a bigger bell since I am surrounded by EK Pilots……..
Safe and happy flying to all (even you violate)

Quote: I get the feeling from being a long-term pprun-er that the "silent majority" are happy with their quality of life in Dbx with EK.

Let's start from the very beginning: so how is it really there with EK?

[YYZguy]

Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that EK will not hire pilots unless they have airline time. Not true.
We have a TRI who came off of F-111's in the RAAF and I've rececently met a USAF pilot doing his sim eval/interview who was flying still flying C-17's.
Nothing wrong in my opinion with hiring folks straight out of the military. Positive change.
Clear skies all....
