Now double away and back to the wannabe site.

Had you stalked better you would have seen the post where you likely got that info abt easy etc went onto explain that I have since gained employment (albeit as a cadet). Now don't choke on your coffee habibi but I could be in a cockpit near you soon

Now please, back to the tough times facing my future employer.

His daddy is a pilot with EK

Joker11,

Apologies, poor choice of words. I meant to say a destination which has just been changed from twice daily to once a day.

[Divertnow]

The lack of leadership leaves me lost for words. On the plus side, more leave available but with another global recession on the horizon I'm blown away by the fact this place could even consider 1 more A380 let alone 20 🙄

Myfriend here inTHY just received an email saying his B777 is delayed. Please accept our apologies!

Its hard to believe how quickly the employment situation can suddenly swing the other way in aviation .
A bit like the UK election today.

What next , EK layoffs or unpaid leave ?

Ironic that it's Air France complaining...

No worries. I know frequences have been reduced, but I thought they were cancelling flights on a daily basis to the U.S

Office Kite

I hope you're more decisive in the cockpit than you are in career decisions. Less than 4 months ago you were telling us that EK was of no interest to you, an airline more suited to African and Asian applicants.

Now you'd like to join us and sit next to Don?

Harry

[sirfly]

What I meant to say was My friends 777 course has been posponed indefinitely for undisclosed reasons. Please log in it and keep us updated of your situation.

Looks like the brakes are on recruitment?

FYI : THY = Turk Hava Yollan

[Talparc]

If you look at our new recruits then Office Kite is right.

[donpizmeov]

You can't blame him wanting to sit next to me Harry. The little fella is only human.
Still no contract adjust letter re pay and conditions. Seems the muppets have given up on doing any work. Even if there is no pay rise there should be a contract adjust stating this.

[fliion]

Agreed Don.

The actual official heading each year is: "Pay Review 201*"

The REVIEW the last time we did not receive step,in May 2009, came from TCAS and at least had the courtesy of explaining to those under fleet - the rationale etc.

Maybe next Thursday at 16:30? 🤔

Correct, based on the horrific t&c's offered by EK according to these forums then they are the only ones who would be interested (and also due to the large amount of Indians asking "How I be Emirates pilot?" On their Facebook page )

But it would be at least another 5 years before I barely scrape EK min requirements and considering I'm yet to pick up my first GS theory book it's a bit premature to say for sure what I will or won't do so far down the line. Focus now is on getting the 320 RHS for my first employers and impressing them in my training!

And Don ... unless you're saying I'll be blessed to sit next to you due to your superior skill ... I'm quite worried!

I'll zoom back off now to the flight training forums where I belong for now ...

Officer kite - you are cocky piece of ....! Some senior captain will chew your a.. soon. You need to eat some humble pie.

Tired Biz model

It goes like this , the Ek hub and spoke biz model is dead . Point to point is the new / old game as it always was and should be . Hub and spoke works with a suitably large hub (see Atl ) Dxb is at max capacity & cannot grow any larger in terms of capacity . They haven't orderd the new and suitably sized Ulr , slim line airframes & are being bypassed by direct flights . I cannot comment on competency etc .however I give the operation a survival period , in its present form , of 2 yrs possibly less . Only my opinion course , too many negatives and the big players are beginning to squeeze a weakened adversary . As I said only an opinion based on past experience .
