The BIG EK Announcement??
 

The day has arrived - 25 October 2005.
20 years, is it?

Has anybody heard any truth yet regarding the alleged "just wait until October" promises by AS?

Keep us posted. :cool:

Its tomorrow but I have been given a pre-release copy of the press release:

==============================================
Emirates Celebrates 20 Years in Business

Emirates Airlines, one of the worlds fastest growing long haul airlines today celebrates its 20th birthday. Emirates Airlines has grown from 3 wet leased 727s to 80+ aircraft with an order book containing 70 other aircraft. An announcement is expected at the Dubai Airshow in November outlining their plans for world domination and the world's biggest ever airliner order.

To thank the staff for their hard work it has been decided that they will be rewarded with pay increases which will take their salaries back to 1985 levels. This means that all employees will receive a 110% payrise to take care of inflation.

In a further change to T&Cs to attract experienced western pilots a decision has been taken to re-engineer Crew Rest Facilities. All the 340-500s will be refitted and the 777s will be reconfigured before delivery. A bath and jacuzzi will be fitted as well as massage tables. Each pilot will be rostered with his own personal Geisha who will take the time to bathe him in Ass' milk to ensure his skin is smooth before taking rest. To ensure that he drops off to sleep immediately he will be serviced in whatever way he feels will best help his in-flight rest. The pilot may take his geisha home with him after the flight depending on how broad minded his wife is.

On arrival back in Dubai because the UAE now has the world's biggest traffic jam, a decision has been taken to procure a fleet of personal helicopters to drop pilots at their residences. Eurocar drivers are currently undergoing re-training to fulfil this role and will be paid an extra 5 AED per year to compensate them for their new skill set with a 70 year training bond.

It has also been decided that pilots will now be able to pick and choose their residences irrespective of the rent. A system will be implemented where they can go and knock on anyone's door and issue them with a 48hr warning to leave if they fancy the house.

So if you were thinking of applying, do so quickly we are currently receiving 25 applications/ day and slots will soon all be filled up. We can guarantee you a quick command (2 weeks) with no changes in T&Cs foreseen in the future.

Please come and diccover the world's best airline.

The management reserves the right to treat you like a camel and to revoke any and all increase as soon as they have enough guys on-board. Command timings are for illustartive purposes only and Geisha's can sometimes be confused with your own left hand.

A quick look at the rumour buster will answer all your questions. "Another BIG payrise". When did we get the first big payrise?:yuk:

HAHAHAHAHAAAA.....!!! Nice one Ghost....! :ok: You had me going right up to the part where the Avis guys get an extra few crumbs.

How do you get to have enough spare time to drum up that masterpiece? Obviously not on the Airbus.

Can't get onto the portal to see the rumour buster. What did it say???

Portal seems offline at the moment, can't get in. They seem determined to stop me seeing my roster :\ :\

EGGW.

Yeah, but it will be the same Avis & Europcar drivers that will fly the helicopters

Thanks Ghostie
 

Ghostie, that was absolutely great!! Just what I needed to uplift the mood. Well done mate!

Cheers

:ok:

Also, everyone was invited to the big party to celebrate the 20th anniversary! All the employees on the workfloor were there to get extensive and well earned thanks for their effort to make EK the most wonderful airline in th eworld.

Magnum champagne and cookies were served to flight crew, and we were told not to fly too fast because that triggers the Qdr and then they neeed a LOT of beancounters to access the data and that costs heaps of money.

Also .....etc

:p
Very, very Well written, Ghostie!
Somehting the sheriff-of-Knotteetingham would approve of.

Oh well, another day... another undervalued-dollar!
:O
