EK A380 Pilots to get their own compound
 

The "chosen ones" get their own compound .......... you have to laugh at the professional reporting that goes on in the UAE.

When you get to suffix-ize your callsign with the cock-twitchingly-powerful, "SUPER" - you deserve nothing less.

My little aeroplane quivers in moist anticipation whenever that extremely manly, "SUPER" reverberates on the airwaves.

Have heard that it is an instant cure for ingrown-penis syndrome, but that might be hearsay??

Talk about discrimination!!! :eek:
I think this newspaper's just pulling a few legs...it won't be true!

Hey boys ease up on the Big Guys. They deserve this as they spend more time here in the sand with all the returns to the gate.
Ya gotta have someplace nice to go to when putting in a 10 minute taxi!

And it's going to be built on a $120m loan from an Indian bank. (Source)

Finally we get what we deserve

Love that SUPER suffix. Never used to say HEAVY on 345 even though is heavier than 77W and almost same 744.
Also the voices drop an octave to sound more manly don't you think?
And I heard it's compulsory to wear long sleeve shirts.

Ha ha ha ha

The "Super" suffix prevents light twins from doing barrel rolls:eek: on short finals if you are vectored too close the us.

If you removed two engines from your A345, it would weigh the same as a B77W.

Shame it wouldn't be able to fly though......

Big compound to fit in all the big egos?

Not a bad idea. The DEWA cap can then be reduced to 15000 there, to compensate for the fuel guzzling on the flying pig.

The article doesn't say just for the Super guys.

I'm guessing they mentioned 380 because there are so many coming and that, in fact, they will slot pilots in as they are hired regardless of type.

This is one thing that EK does right, in my opinion. DSO is a great place to live and is well maintained. The stability that it provides for a family (ie. not being moved every few years as has happened with some in other areas) is important. It's safe, a proper 'neighborhood' where kids can play etc etc etc.

If EK really wanted to make an impact they would set up a system where, if you opted in, you would own your villa after 15 years. They gain because the housing allowance they currently pay is their only expense (you would cover DEWA etc) and it would certainly keep more pilots in Dubai. You would gain by ownership.

Come on guys; some of you took this story literally????????? LOL. You guys need to get out more and away from Pprune.

Of course there will be no "A380" only compound ............ after all, there would be too much jealousy from the other mini-Boeing and mini-Airbus pilots as us A380 jocks sit back in our mansions with our model-wives, our Tom Cruise good looks, our extensive garage of exclusive cars, our exploding bank accounts and our 20 days off every month.

We need to share our presence with the masses.

LOL.

Apparently they`ve approved a floor plan where the bedrooms are at the opposite end of the house from the living room, you walk down a long corridor past a kitchen and near a noisey a/c system. Wonder where they got that idea?

Good one :}:}:}

Just don't put pampas grass in the garden or drop your keys. Someone will think you're looking for some variety :}

You're at it again young fellah:ugh: First of all you say all 330/340 pilots are spineless (remember that post you started?) and now you say that lots of 380 guys are idiots!

You must be a joy to know:{:{

If you gents get so wound up about the `Super Duper`, wait until the profit share gets announced:}

Its all true. The new 380 list will be determined by PPC datum and willingness to move. All cars in the new compound will be fitted with brake to driveway, however no SAAAR arrivals to residences will be tolerated. Seems these arrivals have caused some confusion in the C section of DSO, with occupants arriving at the wrong house as pampas grass seems to confuse the nav system ...that could be awkward! All showers in the new villas will be limited to two occupants at one time, and communal bars will be fitted near the kitchen.

Finally good news for the junior fleet.

the Don

This is the biggest bull**** Emirates could come out with. The fact that some of you guys, who fly the '380 are somehow better than the rest of 777/330/340 pilots.

In my humble opinion, this is just for advertising, somehow Emirates try to underline how many pilots are going to fly their super jumbos, and probably get another deluded pilot to join them. It would be extremely stupid of their side to actually make a compund for '380 pilots only. That way, 777/330/340 pilots should get their own compounds, which will cost Emirates billions of dirhams.
