Manual---India is one out of about 200 countries. Why should Indians make up half of EK???

..... because they account for about 95% of the world's logged hours above 55 tons .....

*ding ding ding*

We have a winner!

Rightly or wrongly, no insurer would touch EK if what you say happened Going_Manual.

And if they did, the massive increase in premium would more than negate the pilot salary saving.

Insurance options
 

a) No insurance, as big enough to cover any hull loss.


b) Nominal self insurance, by shareholders, much like a).


c) Insure in local market, much like a).


d) Insure in international market.


My money is on a)b)c).

More like a muppet :D

The troll went for a bit of a long term lie down about 12 hours ago

Rob

Troll has a name. :suspect:
Check the Lao Central thread on SE Asia.

Hey moron, firstly it's "you're" and not "your". Secondly, EK is doing just fine with pilot recruiting and all candidates are considered - the good ones are recruited.

PS: These 2 hit were top of my google search....

India arrests two more airline pilots with fake certificates - USATODAY.com
Fake pilots: DGCA fast-tracks verification : North, News - India Today

So if you're not hearing enough Indian accents on the radio, ask yourself why.
:cool:

Warlock, don't even bother.

Check this moron's other posts. Apparently he is a troll that got uncovered.
I thought he was Indian but looks like he is American.

Well said Rich8a10, something not right with the lad ... I guess GM will need to leave that name behind and use another email to start all over again.

Put it in perspective guys,

It was a good Laugh!

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and taste like duck,

It's probably a duck! :rolleyes:

Good on you manuals for giving us a good chuckle for 3 pages. :ok:

By the way, are you thinking of a career in the staff travel area, we need a mathematician like yourself and unfortunately Alan Joyce is busy at the moment! :E

....well they have made a good start by making staff fares cheaper to the region....did it move closer ?.

sorry had to say it
 

if the Indians allow the 380. will this be the new CREW BUS...... shuttle to work.

arab spring is reaching EK
 

is it true that EK is going to nationalized

"Nationalised'?

It is already owned by the Dubai Government, how much more "Nationalised" can it get?

I think sadly the DG of the GCAA must read Pprune, there are rumours that ATC in SZC might be going exactly this way, why pay Western expats when you get Indian controllers for half the money. Have fun holding at DESDI and BUBIN in a couple of years guys, you may want to pay very close attention to your TCAS when in the hold!

going manual.... i support you...

gimme a shiny 380 and i'll fly it for my existing salary... :}

Plenty of Indians in the office:E

Pay all the staff you shafted first VJ
