You might be lucky to get a soggy chip in return for your Expo badge, never mind a pint as well! 😉
When you consider how this lot are professionals at charging exorbitant prices for replacement items, the 10 AED replacement fee for a badge obviously indicates a true value of next to nothing. I suspect the level of craftsmanship and quality would probably make your average shop owner in Karama, regurgitate his karak chai in fits of laughter.
I wonder how many badges don’t make it to 2020, never mind the Expo.

Ok do calm down Harold. Not attaching the pin to your uniform means none of things you suggest.
Does anyone recognise which part of a camel the 2020 symbol icon this acre of badge is designed from?
PS. Monach is back on aunty Betty's payroll, flying something with an endurance of 1.5hrs (if you whooze out when flying it) and that brings a smile to your face when you realise that flying is actually enjoyable again. I would imagine the only airline flying he does these days, is when he would be traveling to somewhere either sunny, or with non bland food.

Or 5) This principled individual objects to providing non-contractual free advertising for a farce. Maybe they should pay an allowance to the crew for walking around wearing their advertising bling. Need more cash? Wear more flair - like Chotchkies.
Just checked my yearly block hours - 950 but hey 900 hours in the oma is stick hours.
Swapped a flight and had to accept a waiver because it would give me overtime.
Can only swap/bid for 1 lrv or 2 non lrv
no 3 percent.
but hey I’ll wear a pin that is poorly designed and goes into a uprt state when it is not jettisoning itself from the piss poor clamp.

Howdy Harold,
The rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, I am alive and well and enjoying my contract life at Her Majesty’s behest.
Contrary to Dons comments, my little sportscar with wings has an endurance of 105 minutes at sensible power settings with no stores or extra motion lotion under its beautiful wing, all also due of course to its advanced Rolls Royce noise maker.
My life away from EK has indeed rekindled the joy and delight in flying that was mercilessly crushed whilst in theatre, happily I don’t plan to return anytime soon.
Todays effort, despite the fickle weather was a nice little 2 v 2, after typing this Larwood the Black Lab requires an evening stroll.
Enjoy MM
Monarch Man.....still throwing in those grenades I see! You never did tell us which wonderful outfit you joined? Care to enlighten us?

But monach, you only get to work with highly motivated and well trained people, who do their best to perform well. We get to work with watch selling Instagram hero's. And now we get to spend minutes on a phone app to check in, which saves those minutes at the check in machine. These minutes saved are very important, as they can be used to make up for those lost by doing the multiple triple logon requests needed to find the flight plan on this new user friendly iPad we have been given. We also get the opportunity to wear an artist's impression of a camels @rse on our uniform.
You miss it. You know you do. I bet you spend days on end awake just to relive that feeling of fatigue and relive those good ole EK days.

Kenny...I read that..pint in one hand, spray happened! Pure gold.
Tis true Don, plenty of very very capable young fellas and ladies chomping at the bit for an F35 or Typhoon slot.
Speaking frankly for a moment, id forgotten how well certain people function under real stress, it makes a mockery of the mindset in the EK training dept which in my time was based more on expedience and ar$e covering.
I might just have to re-enlist if theres a free ipad on offer! then again maybe not.
Hey ho...no flying tomorrow oh well life goes on.
