He is definitely one of the biggest contributor to UK's economy. Who will hire all these managerial tosh without he at the helm of EK.
Who will pay all these retired Oxford/Cambridge professors to fabricate meaning analysis showing EK is god's gift to world of aviation.

just have to contribute to this thread.. Had TC on my flight to BHX. Never left his suite, never bothered to say hi to the crew or talk to anyone. In any company everything starts at the top. With the CEO and top-management, then it flows down to all other departments. In EK leadership is a title - "I have an ID card that says CC6, therefore I am superior to you, since you hold a CC2 ID." EK leadership culture is all about fearing your seniors, not respecting them.
I agree 100% with Nikita when Nikita sais that most leaders in EK are not fit for their job. Many of them come from certain cultural environments where the social structure is based in casts, opression, titles and surnames and not on respect for human dignity. Other "leaders" come from Western cultures, however its seems that they are happy to embrace the opression culture endoresed by the management the very first moment they earn their Bla-bla-10th-level EK ID. Most seniors are not psichologically ready to lead a team and they only use their canned authority to express power over somebodie's life in order to feed their low self-esteem and lack of decision-making power they probably experienced during their childhood, teens and adulthood.
This corporate culture is the perfect environment for many negative behavioral patterns to flourish, such as backstabbing, snitching, lack of trust in everyone around you, lack of feeling of belonging to the company.
How many of you feel that you are\were part of Emirates Group? How many of you identify yourself with Emirates and feel proud of working for it? Personally I never felt I belong to EK, there always was my job and Emirates was the HQ building full of so-called managers that don't give a crap about me. The "company" is your enemy, it's not an organization you can rely on. That was Emirates in my perception anyways..
To finish, I'd like to share a TED talk on leadership. Please watch it, it's 12 min long and you will have a good laugh (a sad one probably) on how the leadership in EK contrasts with what the speaker, Simon Sinek, has to say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmyZMtPVodo

I agree, since I started here in the 90s I never felt like I belonged to the group either, I always felt I had to watch my back because somebody will try to stab me or report me and I was right about it, it wasn't paranoia.

There is agreement to stop TC doing interviews? I think that is a stretch to far.

Some time in August 2015 in response to US DoT/DoS docket, Emirates(UAE government) filed (ie., agreed) Emirates (Dubai) built exclusive terminal for Emirates (airline) and along with other subsidies.
Emirates Confirms Billions in Government Subsidy for Airport Terminal
If you notice Sir who was using sledge hammer until then stopped talking about subsidies since.
My take US Government will look the other way on subsidies as long as TC doesn't speak bad about US3. Only interview after that was with CNBC in November 2015 where he said "no one believes him even though he is repeating same thing again and again".
CNBC Transcript: Interview with Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline
Compare that his earlier weekly press conferences/interviews/white papers/analysis, someone told him to cut down the media coverage on this topic.
Not a written agreement, but you see the results.

Well I think we have almost exhausted ourselves in explaining why, we Emirates are not subsidized. I don't think we could have been more clear, more transparent, evidenced in any number of ways to show that this company is not subsidized in any way shape or form by the Dubai government. We've made that clear with evidence, we've shown it in multiple figures, submissions etc. Now for someone to keep banging on that particular drum is for me a complete waste of time.
Not a written agreement, but you see the results.
Can you imagine what topics would arise is he were to have a conversation with the staff?
Bonus? Flying hours? fatigue? company housing?
Emirates is a very tightly run ship, maybe too tight but that's how the owners wants it. He is doing his job and the progress of EK is witness to that. Can it be sustained? Maybe not..there may need to be a correction but it will have to get much worse before you see any changes.
To sum it up... I'm not at all surprised that he avoids discussions with the workforce whenever he can.

Anil you are very correct. Anyone who the nose there is going to be the " big" change I think they are sadly mistaken . Too bad , once a good job, now it's not! Which bucket will fill first?
