Post #120.

It's so amusing that such a rant can be drawn from a little comment in parentheses. Nothing else that I have ever written has been about you N81.

Hate to disappoint, but I hold more qualifications than 'just' a pilot's license. And I have used them in a range of industries as well.

Well, my suspicions were confirmed.

Fly, fly away little miss self-absorbed......

Okay, I'm 4 years and 2 months. No email. Does that mean I'm immune to the delay?!! Just sent it out to the whats app group, all 4-4.5 years and none of us have had any communication in any form from Fleet or anyone else. Could it be only for guys who have interviewed??

No, no, little guy, I meant: what good work did you do for others? Work you do for your own and only your own benefit in a range of industries doesn't count.

I don't give a damn about your suspicions or your qualification of my work.

I am not the one who's flying, last time I've checked.

Sorry Nikita,

For many months I've read your well considered and well thought out posts. You've brought to light many of the issues that affect this part of the world. BUT, i and many others are growing tired of your 'I'm never going to let my life issues rest' ranting and feeling the need to take up a crusade at every opportunity.

And posting pictures of yourself on Pprune... Really! Get the chip off your shoulder, please, for your own sake and to enable yourself to move on.

Sadly you're now on my ignore list.

Bunny,

Sorry, it wasn't clear. The email was sent to a group of guys ,all of whom are around the 4 year mark. They had the Command Coaching course scheduled. The email states that the coaching course is cancelled and will be rescheduled when they are within 18 months of an upgrade course.

I will repeat: I am not your problem and I am not here for you.

My posts were "well considered" while I was talking about EK. As soon as I started to write that your biggest problem is within yourselves, you don't like my posts anymore. Sorry guys, I don't blame others for my problems and I don't whine endlessly. My blog was not about whining, it was about publishing other people's experiences with EK. I gave them the opportunity to do it, regardless of all threats I've got.

If any of you ever helped me or contributed to my blog or any other website which publishes EK's problems or helped any journalist, I would care about your opinion, but this way - most of you have no moral rights to talk about my posts, my attitude, my blog or my work.

I respect all of those check in and boarding agents, cabin crew, cleaners, IT guys, security, baggage agents and others who had the courage to write about their experiences. Pilots (not all, of course) are not at the top of my bravery list. I only respect Emirates Illuminati members.

So, sorry guys - no, I don't give a damn about your opinion, but I am going to use my right to leave an opionion on this forum, like it or not. You can ignore it or read it or answer it. That's my choice with your whining posts as well. And I choose to read them out of basic respect towards other human beings.

One more thing. I would gladly move on, but journalists write to me on a regular basis, especially in the last month. I got one e-mail from a journalist yesterday. Tell me, sluggums, would you like me to direct these journalists to your address? I mean, you are still working in EK. Why should I talk about working conditions in EK anymore? And all that for people whose only "good work" is to ask girls and retired pilots not to write on their forum anymore. Good work, indeed. Feel free to send me your contact details and I will send them to this journalist who wrote to me yesterday. You can even meet him, if you are flying to Rome these days.

I will listen to your advice and will gladly move on. I will never answer any journalist's request ever again. I will direct them to your precious forum and the profiles of sluggums, Dropp, keep, Eau, vfnext, white knight and jack. Then you will have the real opportunity to do some real work for the benefit of all.


Edit: apologies for double posting.

Edit2: sorry, I will not mention vfnext's troll profile to anyone. Too ashamed to do that.

Upgrades on the 380 cancelled till the end of this financial year for now, but under review on a weekly basis, in part due to a shortage of FO's, so nobody can be released for upgrade for the moment.

40 380 Trainers stood down from training to fly the line, due to a shortage of line captains.

With no fo's to release for upgrade and no trainers to train them...it seems like the company will have a bit of an issue. Training mentioned the plan for now is 777 DEC so that some current 777 cpt's can transfer across to the 380.

Yeah that's more like what I've been hearing. Guys interviewing at the moment being told courses in the New Year. Not heard anything about DEC though, hope not but maybe inevitable.

So why not DEC 380? Got to be easier and more economic from a company point of view instead of training a DEC on the 777. Just so another 777 Captain can go to 380.

380 DEC is a non starter as it was apparently vetoed by the deranged lunatic himself.

Women pilots were a non-starter when I joined but eventually got the nod. Given enough pressure, 380 DECs will get the nod. Considering the rate this place is going TU, I give it 18 months, maximum.

Yes.

Now imagine if that guy had handed in his notice at his current airline and couldn't retract his resignation...?

If he was stupid enough to resign any job to come here then he deserves to be unemployed.

The word about this place has been out there for years...its just people refuse to believe it..I mean what do any of us know? We've only lived it for the past 8 years.

Big shiny jets..at any price on any condition...and those 24 hour layovers in Washington......oooohhh! Mind you I always liked London...always so nice in security there!

On the other hand I'd say to anyone interested in coming here...please...please give up your job in your country so that I can go there as a DEC and fly where the seasons change, the sky is blue, water is clear and there are a "one size fits all" set of rules...but I'm a sadist so I like that sort of abuse! Who needs a job at a western major anyway when you can have all that this place has to offer? Come now...don't delay as these positions won't last...they'll be filled quickly and by people smarter than you who have seen the light or perhaps spoke directly to HH the Tartan Guy!!!

Plus you'll fly new(ish) big Big BIG planes full of happy travelers...hell, its just like the "Love Boat"...or was it Costa Concordia? Anyway it makes no difference when you're living in paradise!
