Things must be bad at EK
 
In my day we'd probably drink the stuff never mind put it back in the bottle!

Emirates Flight Attendant Caught Pouring Used Champagne Back in Bottle - View from the Wing

Who gave her the direction to do that? Idiots!

EchoKilla 14th Jul 2017 06:46

So the cost cuttings continue.....

777-200LR 14th Jul 2017 08:16

Thank goodness for that! The people at service delivery; who actually think they run this airline will be livid that she's been caught. Next ACI will be titled "Curtains SHALL be closed during service"

Return of unused pre-departure drinks to the bottle. Has been happening for years.

JAYTO 14th Jul 2017 09:17

wont be happening any more...... well not where people can see any way

GoreTex 14th Jul 2017 09:17

now I know why the Dom is sometimes flat

donpizmeov 14th Jul 2017 09:53

No Dom on the ground, so that ain't why.

It has but wasn't in the public know how - who is to say cheap ShamBain hasn't been handed out all this time and prior poured into empty Moet bottles at EK catering facilities? Simply unhygienic and utterly unacceptable specially since TD & crew brag so much about their selection of "fine booze" .....

Schnowzer 14th Jul 2017 10:03

Nothing to see here!

Makes sense to me, why throw away unused drinks?

Does my head in that you can be filmed at work. If I popped into someone's office and filmed them.....

With you Schnowzer. We live is a society where anyone with a mobile phone can be shocked and awed by anything and everything. They share with the world who take everything on the net as being true.
It's a shame the crew can't share photos of these same people as they act like children during the flight.

Curtains? The deed was done in the bar area! Ain't no curtains there!

There sure is, right by 26B where the pax was! But sadly she decided to re-pour when the curtains need to remain pulled ;)

It isn't even "real" Dom. Check out the label, "Specially bottled for Emirates" or words to that effect. Maybe they're buying the slops from the bottom of the barrel that isn't normally sold to the public. More smoke and mirrors and BS as usual.

Well, I have seen on occasion Dom being opened pre departure so they do Dom Don though, they do Dom Don!

Many airlines, including BA have bespoke labels on the champagne, EK is not unique. It is the real stuff as the champagne houses would not allow their product to be diluted with inferior quality so that comment merely highlights your ignorance. It's also there to ensure the crew can't claim to have 'purchased' it from duty free. The only BS appears to be coming from you....as usual.

I see where you're coming from, but do you remember the 'BOSE' headsets in first class? The quality of those headsets would make me think twice about buying BOSE in the future! (Admittedly they are produced only for the airplane)...

No doubt our Swiss made flight bags are truly Swiss made............... ;)

I got a bespoke Dolce and Karama bag for my g/f, she was also totally impressed.

I explained that Harry said it was specially made for Emirates.

Fonsini 15th Jul 2017 03:49

I suspect it was champagne that had been "tray prepped" and then not taken by any passengers on the cabin walkround - still wholly unacceptable and a PR disaster for Emirates. But if it was from a partially consumed glass then it's a health hazard, a lawsuit, AND a PR disaster.

Eau de Boeing 15th Jul 2017 03:53

Also on the subject of knock off luggage, are you guys aware they're charging the pilots twice as much for the new suitcase as to cabin crew? Think I'll use my old one thanks.....
