Unions
 

Every single job in US has unions, even the waiters and believe me, they are very powerful and less dirty than other ones.

Facebook, Google, Sprint, T-mobile and ... do not have unions. They fire or lay off people without any warnings. Just check the news. They bring new graduate and ask them to learn everything from seniors before asking them to leave the company. it's happening every day in US.

Apart from that cheesy video Delta produced working for Delta is far and above better than working for EK. No comparison. In fact I don't know what one can compare between the two Airlines.
Subsidies, accounting tricks, lease backs, free trade and cheesy videos are not really our department as pilots. Pilot to pilot who would want to fly for Emirates?The work hours, the amount of work and the pay are all detrimental to a pilots Quality of Life. Get out of the sand if you know what is good for you and your family.

Neptune of all the members on here who have lived both - your posts have always been objective, thoughtful and considerate.

I can't argue with your logic or argument - purely the video.

So you want me to explain the financial crisis?? While I would not call myself an expert it so happens I have studied the subject some...however I'm not sure pages of posts on that subject would work out well here....

I will say this, there were major lapses in regulation, policy, and corporate governance that all contributed to the meltdown. In my opinion, many of fundamental problems remain, especially in the area of corporate governance. Making decisions based on short term bonuses often at the expense of long-term performance remains huge problem in my opinion. In fact, this could even apply to the conversation about the ME3 as some of the recent reports make one wonder.... several of the threads about EK back this up.

Union jobs are declining in the USA. Pilots are among the few groups which are still unionized, fortunately.

Yep...

“The union membership rate--the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of
unions--was 10.7 percent in 2016, down 0.4 percentage point from 2015, the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics reported today. The number of wage and salary workers belonging to
unions, at 14.6 million in 2016, declined by 240,000 from 2015. In 1983, the first
year for which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate was
20.1 percent, and there were 17.7 million union workers.“

And these illegal agricultural subsidies have driven third world farmers to the wall.

Joseph Goebbels would have been proud of this video.

5th page of the thread, yep, seems about right. All the discussion was missing was a little Reductio ad Goebbelum. Good work, Thaihawk.

Godwin's Law

C'mon...say how you really feel, were all adults here...

How does it go again? Is it " Hi Himmel? "High Hitlist"? " ...something like that.

Since you're a master on what the Nazi's seem to like, please elaborate further....or is that fürher?

Maybe a bit over the top, but certainly worthy of the spin put out by the British Labour party spin doctors under Alister Campbell, insomuch that the truth was somewhat stretched. And thay's putting it diplomatically.

while a joke when you think of how AA, DL ,UA ,CO, NW, and other US carriers cheated the system with their chapter 11 filings . 10's of thousands of airline employees and creditors where taken to the cleaners.

pervert

...

As opposed to children? I won't even dignify that one with comment.

However removable teeth does have benefits....

definitly a pervert !

"Most" of those 22-year olds are multi-lingual and educated...right. Oh brother. Yes, they're all mensa members and Phd's. Hence, they chose "flight attendant" as their profession. :rolleyes:

Sure, there are some very accomplished cabin crew amongst the 20,000+...I should know, I married one with a degree...in medicine. But get real. It's bs to claim that they're not outliers. Most are far better at interacting with a smartphone than a person. 32 is the new 22, and 22 is more like about 12.

Not picking on the females, btw, the males of the species are probably worse.

Marlon,

15 will get you 20, keep that in mind when you go on your next date!

Daddy might have a shotgun too.

HA HA HA...Yes of course I talked to them as well once. There was a few doctors, lawyers and rocket scientists who went to school to study 8+ years and decided that being cabin crew at EK was a better vocation! BIG RED FLAG !
I'm not saying they are all uneducated either but many come with "issues" and "baggage", so are just full of sh..

PS: BS can mean a few different things.


For your benefit:

BS |ˌbēˈes|
abbreviation

1 US Bachelor of Science.
2 balance sheet.
3 Blessed Sacrament.
4 North American vulgar slang used as a euphemism for “bull****.”

For a lot of them its a paid way of seeing the world. Notwithstanding the punishing rosters but if you're young then why not for three years?

Funnily enough many pilots here are 'just so full of sh..' too to use your own phrase!:rolleyes:
