For Info, if the Chap coming from BA is going to be VP EK Flight Operations, then he is NOT the repalcement for Capt Chris Knowles.

The position now vacant by his departure is for SENIOR VP Flight Operations.

CAP 56 - You must have VERY good sources, because I understand it came as a suprise to Capt. Knowles on Saturday! Somehow I doubt you heard more than someone's wishful thinking.

Never ceases to amaze me how happy some aircrew can be at somebody elses misfortune.

Very good post outlining the damage this individual has done since he arrived. I for one am very happy to see his sorry a$$ out the door.

Irrespective of who replaces him, it is going to take a real effort on the part of management to repair the huge holes in morale that have been created. Whether Knowles did it all on his own or whether he was merely a puppet for Al-Redha will become apparent in short order through his replacement.

Could Adel be next to go?

Gentlemen,
Just bear in mind that in BA Chris Knowles had a much larger fan club than your new arrival

Maybe the departure of That C Knowles could be something to do with this.

As for laughing at another's misfortune... I'm sure almost ALL the guys at EK would share the original Muttley's sentiments on TCK's well-deserved dirking.

Thumbs up Almost as good as a pay rise.

Good riddance to that dispicable little tyrant. I certainly hope he gets what he deserves in life!!

I hope one of our own gets this position. Prefably a Gentleman like Hassan Hamadi.

Check Six.

Hmmm, it seems all is not indeed well in that utopian paradise, that is euphemistically called EK.

Why are we all not surprised?

Cap 56

You are wrong on a few counts.

Yes, you are right "Hassan" is a great guy and they need someone like Al Shamsi too.
That quote is 50% right. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since you were last here.

EK pays to get quality
Reality is EK pay peanuts and they get what they pay for.

What a depressing statement!: "He does not take any crap from these Brits that discredit their own country mates"

Well done you Brits out there for not being prejudiced! If one of your own dumps on his colleagues, how good you stick it to them, as with anybody else, without any judgement of race, creed or colour! That statement is to your credit!
