Troff. Please learn to spell pilots. Probably more than fifty (fleet expansion, retirement and people who had enough) Perhaps you should ask why pilots are leaving EK and take note of the increases of the cost of living in Dubai.

My friend, what are you thinking posting a logical, well reasoned sensible clear post on PPrune.

It may well be a first….!

Nice work.

I am about mid table in seniority . Since May 16 till today I have moved up 30 numbers. Translates to a 2%, at least for the top half of the table.

777boyindubai please learn to punctuate and put a period at the end of your parentheses prior to starting your next sentence.

And maybe grow up a bit also!

We don't all punctuate according to American methods. That is why it is called English. Keep busy and go and invade another country.

777boy,
That is the best post I've seen in a while!:}
So true!:E

Here we go again... more American bashing...

And 777boy, if you're from "England" as anyone would guess from your post, then we learned to invade from YOU! We beat the ENGLISH out of the colonies over 230 years ago, it might be time to get over it.

People like you drag our profession down to a blue collar domain. Bitching about punctuation and colonial tendencies. Really. Is there a Pprune where for pilots that can share important and relevant information? I am sure that was what the people who set up this site initially intended. It's turned into personal insults and Mine Is Better Than Yours type of posts.

G'day

No it isn't!:ugh::)

230 years ago you did indeed beat the English. However you have now become the masters. A failing economy. Prison rates to make people cry. An aggressive foreign policy. Illegal wars and sanctions. I could go on. I know many amazing Americans. There are so many wonderful things in the US. But, that doesn't mean we all have to do everything the American way.

777boy,
then stop flying the 777 and fly a europlane

As I said. Lots of great things come from the US.

And everyone else has been doing it ever since.
Cricket, Rugby, Football etc etc to name a few! ;P

777boy, here is chance to enlighten yourself. As a matter of fact I just finished this film this morning. It addresses a few of the issues you pointed out in your previous post.

America: Imagine the World Without Her Trailer (Official Trailer) - IMDb

With all that said, I'm damn proud to be an American, but where I'm from has no meaning in these forums. I've flown with great (and no so great) pilots from everywhere so there is no rationalization between where I'm from and what politically my country is doing. You don't like the US? Go cry about it or write some poetry. I can't send Obama an email and ask him to straighten his foreign policy out, and I can't right the wrongs for the mistakes of anyone before me.

YOU, sir, are part of the problem. Instead of coming onto these forums and adding content or arguing a valid point, you poke fun at Americans. Well done.

Things at EK are dwindling pretty fast. I can't see how pointing fingers at the Yanks is going to help the situation.

Is there any chance to ban these two idiots from PPRUNE????
We honestly don't give a s#|ttt about your countries.......
Now please back to topic.......

777 Boy you must love the US and us enough to go down to the US Consulate on two of your off days Without pay just for the privilege to fly to the states.
While you are in the US why don't you check out the US airlines and the pay and contracts the pilots have. Or maybe you already have and that is the reason for your jealousy and bitterness towards the Yanks. After all Delta 777 FOs make more than Emirates captains and work less days.
But Emirates is a good job, just ask any Ryanair pilot or 777 Boy.

Captain and Al. I could write a long reply. Clearly anyone who disagrees with anything American is a Yank hater. Sorry to tell you other people are entitled to their opinions. In the interests of keeping this post relevant to the title, I am not going to rise to the bait. Apologies to all for the thread drift.

Your apology is warranted - and noted.

No one says you are not entitled to an anti American opinion - just keep it off these threads.

If you really want to get off on Yank hating - get on the ISIS sites & indulge yourself.

f.

I wasn't apologising to you Flion or any of the other flag wavers. I have my opinion and will voice it whenever.

I apologised to the others people who don't want the thread diluted.

Get off your high horse!!

Can't we all just get along and play nice? Besides there is only one true unbiased opinion around regarding the septics.....
