Please no DECs at Emirates. It is bad enough that we have Ryan Air pilots at EK.

From looking through the last 4-5 years posts, LHR Rain seems to hold two major grudges, DECs and "Ryan Air" pilots. BTW, if you are referring to the Irish LCC it's called "Ryanair". Stop embarrassing yourself FFS...

A few DECs came from 'Ryanair.' That must have really pissed him off!

You've got to have nowhere to go to be serious about joining EK at this time. Talk to ex QF FOs to see how "happy" most of them here (unless you're single, no kids).

A lot of junior pilots are leaving now to greener pastures
Greener? How so? And in whose eyes? For me; well you can keep your Far East 'gweilo round-eye' jobs thank-you very much

Some going back to the US? Take a FIVE year reserve line on a 737 or 320? Good luck to you

Next?

It's just bad enough that there are such vitriolic types as LHR Rain here. Happily they don't seem to be on my fleet

The gents at the uniform store told me that about 50 -/+ leave every week. That is cabin crew mostly.

SS - This is only taught to EK10 and above Its not worth the investment and time and effort in their mind techniques to teach to lowly pilots or crew

Outlaw - I would say his number is somewhat down but I did see your +/- however I can only hope their teaching will backfire

Crikey - just had a look at LHR Rain's previous posts. It's like a tour of a mental asylum.

"No doubt we have lost signficant amounts of money and lifestyle and this won't change unless pilots don't come to Emirates."

I'm happy to help out - I won't join!!

I am really surprised to read the amount of un hapiness. If you don't want people to come to EK......I suggest EK stops gutting european airlines with totally unfair competition. By that I lean, manpower costs, fuel.....etc.
It would be nice if our lame politicians also stopped giving all sorts of freebies to EK, like almost unlimited slots just because EK happens to be the only joint that buys the 380.
Cuz at that rate, you are going to see a lot of us ...!

Interestingly itīs not only old time captains that are leaving. Even FOs leave before the bond is paid off...

But not many. By my crude calculations only 31 have left since Dec. 1. Does not include of course resignation letters submitted. The numbers just aren't worrisome......yet. Not matter what is said or done, discontent is only going to be measured with regard to numbers.

Indeed... That perhaps is the point I was making
