These guys usually don’t have much going on outside the cockpit other than pretending they are investors, wearing reflective sun glasses, trying to kite surf, wearing “Pan Am” tee shirts, tryna date women less than half of their age and building a bar in the garden.

Like most people who join Emirates, I did my research. I knew what I was signing up for at the time.
Please can you explain how you knew what would happen since, specifically in the last 10-15 years the following happening:
Pay steps missed many times despite it being contractual.
Forced into company accommodation despite absolutely hating the place.
1500 plus pilot redundancies, sometimes randomly and often targeting people just because they had cancer, some being dismissed by a single email.
etc etc etc
It would be great to know how you knew that it would be so bad, and more importantly if you did, why did you join?
Now Mr Crystal ball. Question. I was made redundant, many less senior than me stayed, I left fairly quickly and rejoined fairly late. Is my job just to secure the SVP's families job, locals and our wonder kids with zero days sickness? In light of the Great Recession on its way, would it be stupid to stay in EK now? Am I out of the door again next time there's a new variant? Emirates certainly never do anything to make you feel too comfortable do they. Please tell us o great one.

It's an unpopular, unwelcome and immutable fact that many ignore the warning signs and join our profession. Let this be a reminder that all pilots are not born equal and my job as safety pilot is to weed out all the dead wood who slipped the net in their interviews, initial training and their recurrent checks over the last couple of decades. Our standards must remain high and many won't meet those standards, good luck in your simulator details.

Wasn’t there some new joiner FO that was telling everyone how great he was on instagram. While everyone else was grounded and redundancies were taking place. No empathy or tact. Typical kind of moron you’d find walking around Meydan with a batty wife and daft outdoor reflective sunglasses.

somebody with a 20 year life in Dubai, and because this life ending on some sick days is now dead wood which needs to sorted.
Why is it that someone doing a long landing by 200 meters in dxb(4000m RWY) gets a warning letter, while another guy having a terrain warning following a short cut, not knowing the aircrafts performance gets nothing?
Should you not think about your “training” if people pass decades long the recurrents and suddenly they miss all warning signs, as you call it. At the end it’s only luck who is judging over the individual on a given day as you in the 3rd floor only measure with your personality but not over given, organized and well published standards. Sometimes you even invent a standard which is not even documented as such or at all just to justify your ruling.
And your justification is based weeks of brainstorming over a event which does not include the opinion of people who where actually there.
Also you have lowered the hiring standards to nearly zero, and now you are telling people who served one or decades professionally, that they are not equally born pilots and need to be sorted out like dead wood.
This is what you name as high standard. If you would have that standard you would also filter out bad apples in training, rather than protecting them there are some major slips throu the net as well.

What the trainer failed to realize was that the photographers of these photos had given their permission for the use and given the circumstances at the time , it was a seriously inhuman response from that trainer, but then again these people only ever think about themselves and he was fighting for money in his pocket.
The trainer soon backed down when presented with the facts and many redundant pilots left the UAE with a memorabilia of their time flying in the Middle East. No doubt the Belgian would had stopped this if he could.
