Ironbutt57. According to the Pricewaterhouse Coopers audited accounts. In the 2001-2002 financial year, the "Flight Op's" side chipped in with a wee contribution of 77.5% of the 603 million dirham profit.

oh Dear Santan !!

Well lets say show me anywhere where everything works 100%

I've been here over 20 years and have only a few complaints but they're not that bad really

Pay well I've stayed here a while so it can't be too bad
Rostering 8 days off every 28

52 days leave yeah might get cancelled for example when you transfer fleet

but there are many people here from all over the place and a lot have been here at least 10 years and indeed much more

but make your own mind up

You hardly need to worry about holidays being cancelled when you are living in one great big holiday camp
but shhhh don't tell everybody or they'll all want to come

I've been here 10 years now and still got the smile on my face

Emirates just announced 3 weeks profit share for all employees, based on record GROUP profits of AED 603 million (165 million US$).
DNATA contributed AED134.8 Million
Emirates Contributed AED468.2 Million
So Hogwash and ironbutt57 can we lay that one to rest now.

Normally I can't speak, especially last night.

There were a hell of a lot of Gulf Air chaps and chapesses at a certain compound in Budayia to say goodbye to PD who is off to Singapore.
The bleeding hangar doors weren't just open they were ripped off the hinges

I wondered at one point how many Ppruners were there, were you?

Looks like I picked the wrong week to run out of Brufen

If this is all true, why on earth are they holding interviews in London next week? They claim to be hiring 70 pilots.

Not normal for a company about to go down the tubes, is it?

The management have still got to assume that the money will be found and the airline will continue.

The future plan is to increase the A320 fleet so they will need more pilots.

or

It could be smoke and mirrors

Hmm, not even the right hemisphere Ironbutt, are you always so consistently wrong, so far everything you have posted has been about 180 degrees out.
Tell me are you a sHirley D rider with that handle and signature, because if so, then you have just confirmed all my preconceptions.
