Herr Müller announcement on 24. Let's speculate...
 

I am guessing we will park 15 airplanes and unpaid leave is beeing offert to cabin crew.

Or let's hope he'll make Emirates great again!

15 more, in addition to the 20+ already parked up...?

Would that be the 15 we've sold to Transaero or another 15?

Major rumours of management culls including FDMs! Hopefully not ��

Well the big rumor I have heard is...

380 Captains are Getting a Free Pony
777 Captains get a free puppy
Fo's Get a free kitten.

All temporary contract staff already given 7 days notice.

You are getting quite close, Rustler - you must be very near the source.

What is actually planned is an announcement that first class on the 380 will now have a petting zoo from which young passengers can select and take home a pony.

The rumour mill must be running past the RPM limiter with that one, since Transaero went bust over a year ago. :}

I want a puppy!

Show me the puppies..

Icarus, how true is that!!!!

BTW ,where are people getting the info that there will be an announcement on the 24 th. Just a typical Thursday with some more management cuts and panic CYA emails.

Remaining 380 orders converted back to 350, airbus to discontinue 380 production in 2017, 380 to 350 ccq introduced. That's my guess

Would seem like the sensible thing, if it's done it'll be done in a non face loss fashion.

Hot off the press! the very day that cost cutting measures are announced, i.e. stopping free tea and coffee for staff in Engineering (and presumably elsewhere too), the Puzzle Palace hosts a buffet banquet for the Senior senior management in front of Costas.
Just to rub salt into the wounds, the HR staff that have just been laid off were exiting the building as the high and mighty were taking up their plates.
Does this tell a story about how we should not be surprised at anything anymore?
Or, did STC foot the bill?

It seems someone forgot to press send on the email button before leaving for the weekend........ that can be the only explanation.

I believe today is just for the ruling muppets. Mortals are to be told what they need to know at a later date. Some departments will start hearing on Sunday. Or so the rumour goes.

Exactly ! If anything significant it's going to be kept low key and not made public.

Do you honestly think they would make a public announcement " we are parking 20 aircraft and laying off 100s of people" please fly Emirates

CULL
 

It was never going to be an announcement to us minions.
Can anyone get the general gist from a management type and post it?

Any truth the the rumour that HUNDREDS of grade 8 & 9 at HQ laid off already and currently working termination notice periods?
Any locals had their contracts terminated or are all the victims expats?

Add these culls to the thousands of oil families laid off recently, and there will be some school places at GEMS opening up next term.
