Pilot Forum - so I hope lots of questions sent in already?
Hopefully questions already raised on:
fatigue, lack of days off (especially captains), poor allowances, punitive culture with regard to sickness delaying upgrade.

don't let then waffle on about minor issues, they time waste given the chance.

any other topics worth mentioning ?

So what’s changed in the last 20 years?

The guy should join Cathay Pacific then …….thats there rai-son de-tre is it not ??????

Hey Pif Paf as you have been here for so long why don't you go and ask the questions. Keyboard warrior and sad old pilot.

Roberts anus you do your self a disservice, quite harsh describing yourself as keyboard warrior and sad old pilot. Im
sure you’re not quite that bad?

As you also don’t seem brave enough to ask questions don’t worry I’ll ask for you!

I just wondered what others had asked already so we don’t treat ourselves!

Happy Christmas to one and all

What's morale like in the place atm? Any glaring issues, bar fatigue apparently?

So did anything interesting happen at the pilot forum?

Lots of empty promises and using a lot of words without saying anything most likely

So Pif Paf despite saying in an earlier post you would ask the questions for me , you didn't.
In a much older post on this board you prattle on about back in the day the senior guys would ask the questions. Isn't that your job now?
I suppose due your advanced years your scrotum is so wrinkly it would struggle to produce any testicular fortitude so its understandable.

There is a post in the Australian forum about a rumour of Emirates pondering over overseas bases. Truth or fantasy?

It is Goat airways down the road from the UAE that is asking for expression of interest.

Couldn’t get to forum as was called out for a flight.hence why asking for info duh!🙄

Ek won’t do basings. Pilots based in other countries would come under those countries specific employment and labor laws, EK doesn’t like being told by others what to do!
Case in point, years ago a ground staff in USA asked to be given US statutory 12 weeks maternity leave, The base needed to get a temporary replacement while she was away. This had to be approved by AAR (yes he micro manages to that level), he was furious she was allowed so much time off and told USA manager to tell her she could not take so long! AAR only agreed when it was pointed out how much it would cost in law suits if they didn’t allow her time off.
Having pilots in different counties operating under different laws to UAE is seen as a lose lose situation by the control freaks at EK

100 percent correct. It will never happen.

Thats what I’m hearing also, Don

If the Caprine Carrier down the road offer basings that may put pressure on other middle-east-airlines to do the same.

When does flydubai announce a bonus?

Bonus
 

Heard from a friend in another airline down the road that they heard we can expect 44 weeks and a pay rise.

Heard of a possible 30% pulse salary increase from a relatively reliable source

A350
 

Any idea what the 350 will do? Are they coming with or without CRC?
Rumours from training that it will only have Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy classes.
Will it mean more useless new joining FOs from substandard airlines?
