Another Pearl from 411A. :ugh:

So "Harry the Cod" is your real name then? OK Mr. The Cod, wether you choose contempt, disdain, or apathy makes no difference to me because you are a non entity in this discussion. You want to put your head in this sand and tell yourself you are happy with the way things are, be my guest. But why bark at those of us who refuse to delude ourselves? If you simply sit back and take whatever comes then do so and stop trying to be the rose colored glasses. Tell me this, what good does it do you to silver line the reality of working at EK to people who don't even work here? I know your type, I've had plenty of discussions with guys who don't want to question authority or "cause problems." You've got it all figured out and us young whipper snappers should learn our place and return to the bench and just keep rowing. You may have found some peace with that choice (and a strange sense of superiority) but why come after those of us who won't be content with the hypocrisy and lies? Ultimately you would benefit from enough discontent so why try to stifle it? The fact is, I'm not that young anymore and I do know our place. That's why I'm pissed. So I'll continue to exhibit the same contempt for you and your ilk as long as you deserve it.

One last thing "Harry," cowardice and anonymity are issues I'd love to discuss with you over coffee sometime if I didn't think you'd happily turn me over to TCAS for an extra ration of gruel.

Just checked the last Fleet facts from 2010. It states that as of Aug 2010 we had 2451 pilots in the company. As of the 28th Feb 2011 we have 2587 pilots in the company. Sept through Feb shows 227 new joiners. So it would seem 91 fellas have left in this time. So about a 6% (using 91 pilots in 7 months vs the current 2587 pilot strength) wastage rate at the moment. So I think you may be right Harry, an average of 13 guys a month since Sept have spoken with their feet, making lots of vacancies.
I guess this is why the promised roster relief is taking so long to materialise.

I can do nothing about my contract. Neither can you or the other 2600 pilots that are here. If the Company chooses to change it, I either accept it for what it is or leave. It really is that simple.

or maybe a better job came up for Mister Warning, less hours more money?

They have? Where? When? In print? What is your source?;)

So basically most of the videos which I am about to post is lies?

No longer, and never really was germane to the discussion, but Maria no longer works for her previous carrier. She has left and is full time director of what is no longer the Dhaka Project, but The Maria Christina Project.

LR3 - You guessed right. 200 hours corporate in the 8 months since I left for 30% better money.
411A - Definitely a mental defect ie. a no brainer! :)

How would that compare with other major airlines?

Yes.

Sort of like EK advertising their "green" flights to SFO...um, ok. :rolleyes:

PUA,

I've noted three posts from you in the past hour- two in Tech forum (where you have displayed astounding technical ignorance) and one here (which is either meaningless or extremely rude).

Congrats- signal to noise ratio lower impressively in one posting frenzy...

Cesco- Granted!!!;)

Common phraseology on some of the sciencey sites I frequent (usually as the dumbest kid in the room!!):8

Have removed most of the crud from this thread, back on topic please :ugh:

EGGW.

Just info for anyone who cares...just got a roster change...took away a short turn around, made it in to a longer turnaround..total hours for the month of March will now be 99.20..I can no longer keep this up:ugh:

Then don't......call in SF....but make sure they put it in the system as SF, and not just SK. I'm not having a go, but it takes individual action to change things.....:ugh:

SOPS,
That's why I left! Now a very happy teddy. :ok:

If you want to remove the crud you should shut down the server:E
