Talking calling any Kiwi's in EY

I am seeking any Kiwis in AUH who would like to provide some useful advice to a fellow countryman. Please PM me. Many Thanks.

Guys,
Are you referring to Management or pilots here?

There is a a nice enough kiwi in the left seat of a B767 and I don't think he falls into the above statements at all.

I'm assuming you are asking about flying staff and not admin, given that there are Three Captains, (and another just arrived for the 320), and 4 A330 F/Os (1 still undergoing training) the previous posts are slightly inaccurate.
I would agree with JetJock330.
Check your PMs..
Now would Tiger King be an Aussie..?? Not too nice for your first post.

FWIW, most Kiwis in the Middle East have a reputation for being first rate @r$ehole$. Most of those that I met did very little to disprove that.

All expats in the Middle East to some extent, myself included, exhibit that quality, but the Kiwis go out of their way to show it. Must be an antipodean thing, as a lot of Aussies are not far behind.

Nothing personal, just a long time observation I have made.

I guess my inner @r$ehole is comming out

Quite simple - it is the FILTH-syndrome
Failed In London Try Hongkong.....(or Dubai, Abu Dhabi...you name it!)

Not to be taken seriously!

Cheers,

How dare you!!

Nothing wrong with those Kiwis at all. They're the salt of the earth.

Have a look at the JB forum and ya'all will see the Kiwi gals are OK too!

kiwi gals?

A bit off the orginal thread, but I would have to disagree with you on that last statement. I live in Christchurch, " land of the big white ankle", haven not seen a descent looking kiwi woman in 12 years, as plain as a white picket fence. Sorry!

all right boys

I have seen some S#@t in my life but you buggers take the cake.

I have met some great guys in the sand ,from all walks of life and from some very diverse cultures, but the kiwis are probably the most honest and balanced of them all.

if they are being arseholes its because the person on the recieving end is an absolute idiot and dosent like being told he is a ********.

trust me .........if you think a kiwi is an arsehole you are a F*(Kw!t

be safe

T....R....

Kiwis were insufferable 20 years ago, about the time they last won the Rugby World Cup, ever since then they have been very affable chaps

What we lack in looks, we make up for in brains and personality. Also, it would help if you left your living room.

Kiwi Chick and goddamn proud of it!
