Well, the thing is that fascist opinions from immature people like "wet v2" brought this girl into very deep trouble now. The double-morale of some primitive hypocrites who value one life more than another.

However, she knew that very well in advance. It was she and her "boyfriend" (if you want to call him that) who caused the pregnancy and brought this situation upon her. Sorry, but the virgin-mary-story that she didn't know what had happened is just ridiculous and I don't believe a word of it. Thank god the baby is alright!
The question is: why did she not seek proper medical advice earlier on??? Could she not have taken some leave, gone home to Ireland, and seen a proper doctor there, for example?
By ignoring the facts - and that's all that it was - she risked the life of the child and herself.

I too agree that it's not the responsibility of Emirates Airways now to bail her out.

Because maybe it's the right thing to do?

Following your logic, then the EK Capt. who crashed with his motorbike in the desert and got a bunch of operations and was off medical leave for three years should've had to pay for it himself too, no? Since it was clearly his fault and he could've known better, right?

Have some compassion man...

Oh, I do. I feel very sorry for her, believe me. But what has happened to her was not an accident (and by the way, if an insurance would specifically exclude motorbike-accidents in it's contract, then same would apply to this captain).

We all, and this unfortunate girl too, know what happens to unmarried pregnant girls.
So perhaps Emirates may decide to be charitable in her case (which is not very likely), but basically that's what it comes down to now.
It's not just my logic, it's the law.

and made their society a step closer to one like the UK, and Ireland where its acceptable to have single mothers with multi colored children, all being paid for by the tax payer.
That IS a fascist, racist and a plain stupid remark. I generally agree to your point that the girl and her ex-boyfriend brought her into that terrible situation, and not Emirates.
That's not what I'm criticising about your post.
I also don't want to discuss the hypocritical laws.
But this remark which you have made here shows what a kind of person you are. Did it ever occur to you that the father of that child might as well be a Local, and if so, this guy is now enjoying his social benefits at home and doesn't have the least bit of remorse or responsibility about what he has done?

all being paid for by the tax payer.
Yeah, our society takes care of its citizens. Any problem with that? Maybe we should rather stone them to death, for being "immoral" or what? I wonder just who exactly around here benefits most from his government's generosity.

And you say I am hiding behind the "fascist banner"? Man, you better just keep your mouth shut.

Okay, and now you tell us all what we can do if we don't like it here.

I don't know either.
The thread started up as yet another boring old "don't join..." thread.
Might as well close it. I'm outta here.

Hahaha, from a topic of reasons not to join an airline and ending up with accusations of racism, fascists, UK tax payer handing out benefits to multicoloured kids and pregnant Irish gals, aviation is just a f###ing hoot.
