When does ED leave EK

We were under the impression that the talking horse was leaving in March. Well March has come and gone and we are still getting emails with "whilst" and "labour" in the message.
The IRS will be notified when ED arrives in the USA we just need to know when he arrives in the land of the free.
Thanks for the memories and emails ED.

I am going to miss Ed. At least with him, it was so obvious he was incapable of performing well under any circumstance. His blunders, confrontational management style, poor decision-making skills and hilarious use of the english language were a constant reminder of the quality of our entire management team.

When it comes to the other 3, you actually have to understand that they are deceptive and self-serving, in order to understand the harm they cause. It was obvious from Day 1 with Ed, that he was lacking in the most basic qualities considered desirable from someone in a position of authority.

It won't matter who replaces Ed at this stage. The only difference will be that the new guy will come in and 'appear' to have our best interests in mind, only to disappoint us in the long run.

Ed was surely the one and only thing that all pilots (except Capt America) agreed upon and I suspect his colleagues in the Golden Palace recognized that he was a unifying force for the pilots against them. Therefore, he had to go.

He will be remembered as an incompetent, ignorant, sycophant manager, who made us laugh every time we read his emails or heard him attempt to talk and make sense, at the same time.

Well said mensaboy

The sooner the idiot walks out of the door and leaves for the last time the better.

Flap,

I used to work for EZ and we had crew meals, water, tea,cofee etc.

He is also ex BA and ex RAF, and negotiated EZs roster pattern, which was a very positive life-style enhancement.

I have no idea what he will be able to achieve under AAR, but let's give the guy a chance....

He can be as good as he wants, but with the runt and AAR above him he will just be manipulated to serve their pathetic whims

NOTHING will change until these clowns go. Mind you I've heard that TC was NOT impressed with AAR's handling of the Volcanic ash situation, here's hoping

Just released on the portal, and possibly written by the man himself!

''Captain Edward Davidson's farewell party is planned for the 30th of April at Capt America's villa starting after work at 1pm. There is no need to put your office phones on answering machine, as we realize that is the norm anyhow.''

We expect the pilot turnout to be volumous and advantaging to the desiring individualists who seek to endeavour to procure a substantial advantaging in their relative positions at Emirates Airline.

Henceforth, whilst we don't mean to be disadvantaging towards our customers, if you are one of the 2% of pilots not working that day, you are requested to bring suitable gifts for this fine man. Otherwisingly, you might be awarded a short trip to your respective Chief Pilot, to explanage your actions.

Edwards tenure has been short but dynamic in naturesqueness. Agreeably, he had envisioned staying much longer but due to unsubstantiated whinging from the pilot body, we have agreed to his early dismissal. ('Dismissal' ..... meaning a hearty farewell to a decent, intelligent and otherwise normal human being)

We all wish Eddie the best of luck in his impending IRS audit. We are confident that since he surrounds himself with the likes of Capt America, he will continue to thrive in his little world of denial and delusion and that he will enjoy his few months of retirement.

In all Sincerestness,
The management team at Emirates Airline.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.

People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?

Well listen to this.

I am Mister Ed.
