What happened to the veritable flood of (unmentionable airline) and SAA pilots who were ready to drop everything and rush to Dubai? It has all gone a bit quiet.

I heard two things. The SAA guys went to QR due to better T and Cs and I also heard that they weren't interested in coming to EK.

Not entirely true Joker. About 40 SAA guys were interested, of which more than 20 have already started. Another 6 to start on 1 November.

My bad. Clearly I was not up to date.

MD 83.......Not entirely true either! Only 20 have signed up. 3 have already started so not sure where your info comes from.

Probably not a surprise to some on here, but I pulled the pin last month, the family leaves in 2 weeks, a newer less fatigued and enjoyable life awaits.

Nicely timed MM! Home in time for Christmas?

Best wishes for the next chapter!

Good on you! 2019 can't come fast enough.

Time for Emirates to buy Thomas Cook at 56p a share, collapse the company into administration a month later.....then split the pilots between China with Fosun or Dubai and Emirates?

Now we're well into October I guess everything is sorted?

No problem.

Standard 9 days off for November, 90+hours, lots of night turns, nothing that I bid for. Seems like nothing has changed except the date.

cerbus 21st Oct 2018 12:49

I got 10 days off this month! Emirates is the Airline for me.

fatbus 21st Oct 2018 16:18

MRU 6 hr layover in November ? WTF

You all should thank your stars for being in an airline, good or bad. I know of hundreds of rated pilots sitting home doing nothing due to the shutdown of a regional airline.
