The Latest from EK Recruitment........
 

Mhhhhh.... Doing the walk around with no yellow vest??👏👏😱😱

MS

Captain?? That's a big step up from corporal...

Sadly 75% of our fellow pilots won't get that joke!! ;)

Well, the relevant section of the OM A IS section 8.....

To be honest, it's not all bs she's telling us:

"Airports almost feel like a second home. I get to see a new one almost every day."

Yes Ashley, very true ...... and very, very fatiguing. :ugh:

Wannabees, be careful what you're aspiring for!

Ah Cpl Klinger, those were the days! When men were women and sheep were nervous!! Eh Radar?

Saw this lady breezing around EGHQ, she appeared to feel that there was a bad smell! Maybe it was just my fatigued self :ouch:

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new Captain America! (Remember him?):ugh:

Alwayzinit, it was you. If you have ever actually met or spent time with her you would know she is a very kind and genuine person and really doesn't deserve your anonymous judgement. Why do pilots here insist on tearing each other down? Are you that insecure? Honestly, that's the 2nd most disappointing aspect of work here. This place is littered with fragile, over compensating egos. I can guarantee that if you ever flew with her you wouldn't have the balls to say anything to her face. Rant over....

I've never met her but unfortunately in the video she comes across as a slightly vacuous apologist for the company who just lurves her job because it gives her the chance to go clothes shopping and appear on chat shows.

I'm sure she isn't really like that and it wasn't her intention to appear that way when she agreed to do the video. I'm absolutely certain that it isn't the impression Emirates are trying to give but as a recruitment/PR tool- epic fail.

Attention Attention ....Tonights movie will be Gone With The Wind Staring .... Dont be so sure 😊

Could this be the new "Captain America"?

I've flown with her and I can say she's a great aviator and equally nice person!

Ugh. So EK tries to look hip and progressive because they have female pilots, but then choose to portray her as Pilot Barbie? Make up your minds.

If anyone thinks this is an unkind reference, just imagine if the same spot had been filmed with say, Wizofoz waxing effusive about being a "manly man", and you get the idea of how ridiculous the ad appears.

Is this really what prospective pilot joiners wonder about - how many shoes they can acquire? Hope she can pick up a few fashion tips on those night turnarounds to those stylish destinations like Islamabad and Kolkata.

Sad really. All of the female pilots I flew with at EK were a pleasure to work with (*) and consummate professionals, this cringe-inducing, vapid nonsense does them no favours.

(* The Teutonic Psycho aside.)

Seaman, news flash, it wasn't meant for you or your less than impressed wife. For f*cks sake she's just a person trying to make the most of her time here. Do you have a problem with her or all female pilots because your comments sound down the middle sexist. Are you and the wife, since you brought her into this, maybe a little jealous that she gets to do all the fancy extra stuff? And good for you that you would man up to fellow captain and insult them for nothing they ever did to you. Seriously, the a$$hole ratio at this airline is way too high.

Nolimit, how does this video impact your life in any way? I'll tell you, it doesn't. But you still feel it necessary to tear her down for getting to do things she enjoys. It doesn't change the job she does, which is the same as you, or who she is as a person, which is someone you'd be lucky to know. Think of one of your pastimes or interests and if you'd turn down the offer to get paid to do that all over the world.

For all the macho going on here you fellas sure are catty b*tches.

You're quite right Mo, the a$$hole ratio here is very high indeed.

I can second this. One of the nicest Captains I have flown with and an excellent operator.

From trainers to auditors to safety to recruiters there are plenty of us who do extra work for this mob for minimal extra benefit, why are we calling Ashley out? She was presented with an opportunity that has worked for her and has taken it. Isn't that what all of us are doing to one degree or another in the sandpit?

might be. But i'm about as impressed by her than i was when Beckham made adds for Burger King or Costner for canned Rio Mare food.

If you don't have anything good to say about someone....its always better to say nothing.

Simple: Pilot ego, jealousy and misogyny. There's plenty of it hereabouts.

Well done to her.

Get over yourselves those who have a problem with it. Its pathetic.
