Emirates 10 Year $1 million US bonus?

Heard a rumour going around......after 10 years of service at EK, company will pay a $1,000,0000US bonus. Any truth in it?

Cheers.

The answer is, there is no truth to this rumour at all.

But going by recently recieved emails, it would seem that a recent hire from an Oz based LCC is telling his mates at home all about this one. Once again proving why we need drug testing!!!

It is true.

After 15 years you could retire on 75% salary or 20 years 100%. That means that you would be entitled to more than $US 2 million payout!! IF YOU ARE A LOCAL!!

....So what you've done there CW is capitalise the value of their pension kitty to arrive at this figure. May be this is correct, not being a local though I haven't got a clue!

One thing's for sure. There is definitely no 10 year 7 figure bonus. This is the airline business not an Arsenal testimonial football game!! So for most of us mortals it will be a free subscription to Flight International.. and that's if we're lucky

Try the mint shisha next time rather than the banana flavoured one

This rumour is ripping around and it comes as no surprise that the origins are the good ol' boys from Brisbane. Same lads who sexed up their wage at the Hammo for years.

Emirates applications may spike on this one. It's been quoted as a solid rumour along with "another 20% payrise".

its true, but requires 50 years of continuous service with no sick days.

It's the heat. It fries the brains of people who don't know better than to stay out of the sun at this time of year in the Sandpit.

After reading this million dollar fantasy, I think we need to amend Kipling's "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun" to "Mad dogs and the odd really imbecilic Ozmate go out in the midday sun."

I think the $1,000,000 bonus is to pay for all your Salik costs

If I had no soul, or if I was an American politician, or if i was a wannabee famous celebrity............. I would be covering up the truth about this company and totally encouraging all potential applicants to come here. This would truly serve my purpose, as I would be paired up with decent pilots and human beings But I will not lower myself to the GWB level and not serve my own self interest.


And if you weren't 5'4" you could get chicks!

Welcome back, Mensa Shrimp. Did that loopy writing style get you straight As and admission to the local Mensa branch in Saskatchewan?

It's pretty obvious what's at work here. The sensitive Little Canuck got dissed by a few red blooded American studs and is still in a lather. To make things even worse, he's stuck with a Manitoban hag while his nemesis Tartan Guy is shagging a 10!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's a cruel world, my little friend.

That's the best rumour ever!
For the record, after serving more than 150% of the required time, my Provident Fund is worth less than 50% of the sum mentioned. And TCAS did not call me in for a pat on the back and hand me a bag of cash either.
(For OJ and the other math-averse rednecks out there, that means I have been here over 15 years and my PF is worth less than 500K)

Dear OJ,
On this, the 2nd Anniversary of the Declaration of ''MISSION ACCOMPLISHED'' in Iraq, CONGRATULATIONS on a job well done to you and your band of red blooded American studs (your words not mine).
Your posts make me laugh which is quite refreshing on this forum. Keep em coming!! Its odd that you say I'm sensitive yet you launch into a verbal tirade whenever anything is mentioned about GWB. Have you considered sitting down with a psychiatrist and delving into the problem you have with anyone who has a viewpoint contrary to yours? Or is it just that you don't have anything of consequence to say and think that personal attacks are an effective method to shut up an opponent? You make an excellent little Republican. Kind of inspires me to add a little thought about GWB in all my posts now, makes me chuckle knowing you are frothing at the mouth when you read them...... hahah.
Is Tartan guy really shagging a 10? Kudos to him. By the way, he isn't my nemesis at all as I actually found him quite interesting in person. His actions on the other hand should not have come as a surprise to anyone considering his background and cultural leanings. Image baby ! Thats what counts isn't it OJ? And yes, there are only a few countries on this entire planet where OJ could have been found innocent..... ok perhaps here in the middle east too, haha.

How come everything has be blamed on the American soldier and NEVER on the crazy a** bomber who takes 50 or so innocent lives in a SINGLE strike who have nothing to do with the conflict?

Well I do totally agree with you on your point that the bombers are truly evil. I don't blame the American soldiers at all. Quite the contrary. I blame the government, elected by the people in 2, and let me repeat that.......... 2 ELECTIONS............ shocking! GWB knew he would be re-elected if he went to war. He doesn't give a rats ass about the American people, (witness Katrina), but he does care alot about his wealth and the wealth of his buddies.
GWB lied about Iraq and 'weapons of mass destruction' and that is the simple truth. The latest report clearly states that Al Qaeda is stronger now than before 911. There are now 35% of Republicans who disagree with GWB's policy and that says a lot. No doubt they have their own self-serving interests in mind, but my god man, this is unheard of. What was that website after the last election, decreeing from Americans by the way..... WE ARE SORRY !!!!!! to the rest of the world. Thank god there are some americans, about half by my estimation, with some integrity and intelligence left to finally admit that things have gone askew in the Good Ole USA.
Sit back, watch the dollar plunge and wreak havoc on the world, and maybe take 10 years off from going to war against some fictitious enemy. And while you are at it, park the SUV's, take down your gun racks, and stop being the biggest polluter on the planet. I can't even begin to express how many things are wrong there. Who else defies the UN, under the sanctimonious belief that the REST OF THE WORLD is wrong, and only the US is able to see the light.
My god, Iraq is a mess, couldn't be worse in fact. How on earth can anyone defend this monster's policies??? I don't hate Americans at all, not in the least, but for the love of god man, stand up and admit the last 7 years have been a travesty.
I feel for my kids and I also feel for the kids of the next generation of Yanks too.
Why is it so hard to admit that the last 7 years have been the biggest mistake in the history of the USA? Why are some American so incapable of admitting a mistake?
Yes go ahead OJ, take your personal shots at me, I relish it, but can you please for once make an informed post and at least try to counter my POV ?
I really wish someone would convince me that things are not in such a bad state right now, otherwise, even if I'm even half correct, then things are going to get ugly in the next 20 years.
And for the record.... GWB is the worst President in the history of the USA. I'm not alone in my beliefs, to a man, every pilot I have flown with at EK believes that to be true as well, ok fine, that is a bit of an exaggeration, there was this ONE guy who felt that since GWB professes to be a Born Again Christian, then he must be a good man.
Apparently I have offended the red blooded studs from the USA (OJ's words), and that is not my intention at all. I will no longer further slag your government out of respect for the half of you that are decent human beings. But for a moment, please sit back and stop spending your time watching FOX news, reading about Paris Hilton, enjoying the crisis of lives of those on American Idol.......... take a breath and objectively look at the last 7 years.
Time for me now to go shag my Saskachewan wife, lol. She is patiently waiting for me to pleasure her, ever since she heard Tartan guy is banging a 10 !!!!!!!! Suddenly i'm looking good to her. Thanks OJ !!!!!
I promise, at least half heartedly, not to slag Yanks anymore. That is not my intention at all. I feel bad that I have offended some of you that might read this, but for those of you little men, OJ for example, you need a good beating. Go for your lunches with ED, live in your tiny fantasy world, and take your shots at me. I love the fact that you never counter an argument I have, makes me feel smart for once.
Please, counter this
Guantanamo, Iraq, Katrina, health care, racism, debt policy, Kyle Rove (haha), Skooter Libby (even a bigger haha there), GWB.................. ANYTHING !!!!!!!!!!! pick your topic you. Slag away you putz !
I will no longer respond to inconsequencial posts from the likes of you OJ.
