So A380-800 driver, I've finally narrowed down to who you are.....Shall I publish a name?
You publish a name, you get banned. If you are sad enough to check the portal thats up to you. Outing gets you banned

Well good for you bypass. Glad you can work the portal. Don't you think we get enough stick from our managers already without turning on and eating our own? 
This Sydney thing has been going on for years during the southern winter. As normal, in a few months it all goes away when the winds calm down and the flight time increases. If you didn't know that this airline, like most others, is run by bean counters and IFS, you have had a very sheltered life here. They have no clue. I would have thought that the 380 FOs would have welcomed the extra flight time to help overcome the Command hour issue.
The more it changes, the more it stays the same.

I can not believe this
Guys and girls,
I normally refrain from adding my two cents worth to the wisdom you all have.
For starters we were never asked to taxi out on one engine. Secondly if it saves a bit of fuel for the company and when possible, what is wrong with that. last but not the least, if you are so p----d of with the company, may I suggest you find a better one. I know we have our issues, specially with the breach of contractual obligations etc and feel sorry for those of you having to sit on the left right wit ignorent DEC's like my self with only thirty years of flying and 15000 hours with a national airline of a not so developed country, that we always tried to save a penny for if we could, not because we had to but because we took pride in it.
I'm sorry to say all of you who thought you will become millionairs just because you sacrificed your greener pastures for a desert, grow up and start living in the real world.
F-----g the company will not get you further in your short cut to the left seat or better working conditions.
PS: Please also read the FCI's properly before you freak out and confuse the people who understood it in the first place, even though english is not their mother tounge

SYD policy and 388 driver
388 driver - you got me wrong.
I agree that the 7.7t are rubbish. That was an idea directly from P-EKA and it has been binned in due course. I just blow a casket when somebody writes that more fuel is burned with a lower CI.
The best policy for SYD is to just point and shoot without meddling. Have a look at the Fuelmon statistics and you know what I mean.

EKBemused,
You should have stopped with your first sentence and kept up your track record. The rest of the rant makes you sound like a hypocritical, self agrandizing dick. Why did you go to EK but for the lure of money and the biggest shortcut to the left seat (DEC) that one can find? To minimize the breach of contract issues just shoes how little self respect you have. Perhaps you are used to geting walked on or come from a place where that's normal, no problem, just don't fault guys for not smiling while they get bent over.

I'm all for helping the company save money where I can, we do after all have some what of a vested interest in the continued success of the company but what is happening at the moment is down right malicious from some departments towards the pilot group. It takes a long time to build goodwill but not long to lose it and unfortunately the more people I talk to while flying the line, the more I realise that pilot goodwill is wearing very thin. Very sad indeed.

Forgive me the 100% thread creep, but Instant Hooligan, I prostrate myself at your feet. Humbly.
At last! - someone on this site who didn't insert that dreaded loose 'o' into the verb 'lose'. I may be somewhat loose (adj.) with my stats, but I think your post must be almost the first time I've seen 'lose' used correctly in quite a while.
Now... back to abusing each other.
(And I see from his last few posts that A380-800 driver's 'honeymoon period' with all things EK seems to be drawing to an end if not ended.)
