Meydan Villas: Expression of interest

[RoyalEnfield]

Well this is interesting...

Due to high demand there is a currently a shortage of company provided apartments for new joiner Pilots. To address this shortage we are proposing to provide existing First Officers and Senior Management employees who are married and whose spouse is resident in Dubai, with the option of moving to a company villa at Meydan Heights. This is a one off, discretionary offer, not a change in accommodation policy provision.

Where did this come from?

[ChillinInTheDesert]

Wouldn't those existing FO's and Senior Management already be in villas? Or is this for those who have taken the allowance and now being allowed back into company accomm?

Or am I missing something here?

[Wizofoz]

It would be for FOs who don't have children and aren't normally eligible for a villa

[ChillinInTheDesert]

Thanks Wizofoz, didn't think of that. Blown away by that.

Goodie, the fourth Meydan thread in the ME forum.

[RoyalEnfield]

Eau:

They sent the email out this afternoon.

[ChillinInTheDesert]

Manaadasystem, Well its better than the numerous threads moaning about the company. Would you not agree housing is a very important subject?

[Wizofoz]

Plays into the story that they have 500 cells and desperately need prisoners!!!!

[ManaAdaSystem]

I can do like you guys, start a thread and just assume everybody knows who I work for. My airline is very important you know.
I will then start a new thread every time somebody sends out a memo. If the memo is about a prevously discussed topic, I will start a new thread anyway.

Come on guys, just a little bit of efford would make the ME forum a better place to be. It's not all about EK.

[Tight Seat]

ManaAdaSystem,

Why not put a little less 'efford' into blundering into different topics and threads all over Pprune to contribute precisely zip.

I agree that this forum isn't just about EK, likewise just because the topic might not be of interest to you it may be of importance to others. So please, don't view the topic and comment if it's not relavent to you as an individual. Walk on. Thank you.

[ManaAdaSystem]

I will, provided you lot manage to put EK in the thread title.

Thank you.

It's not all about EK.

It is what it is and in fact mostly it is about EK.

Can anyone confirm when this email was sent and from who? It might not have been addressed to all FO's. I've opted out of company accommodation 3 years ago and have been trying to move back in. I'm wondering if it was only addressed to some.

[Xulu]

The entire point is to free up company apartments, not upgrade FO's outside the system.

MAS,

Since you are not allowed to write about your company, I don't see how you can be so confused all the time.

The don

[sluggums]

Just put the idiot on your ignore list. Works a charm for me...

[RoyalEnfield]

Subsonic, the email came out this afternoon from Accommodation and it does seem it was sent to selected individuals. They wanted us to acknowledge receipt of said email.

[Mister Warning]

Do not block ManaInaCistern - there's few enough things to giggle about these days!

[ManaAdaSystem]

Don, I don't think the confusion is on my side of the fence.

You have my sympathy:

More work for less pay.
No bonus.
Gone from being the first choice to one of the last.
Soon forced to move to Meydan cancer cluster.
Nowhere to run.
Soon to be picked up by minivan.
Bullied by every little manager in the company and only one choice. Bend over.

No wonder you are running around like headless chicken BUT

It is not my fault. So don't be angry at me.
