Not only in Emirates. Etihad fires crew that have been abused on board by their seniors! And, it happens that those seniors are best friends of the management! So guess who is the one to be fired?

Have you all read the email that was sent to staff about the results today. It sounded like a suicide note – we will not be making redundancies – YOU SHOULD BE FIRING PEOPLE – the incompetent uneducated managers and vps that are mooching off the system!! Have you heard of Grade 10 flying first class – that should be the first step – in fact fire half the managers – anyone working in same position for 10 years plus should be let go. Anyone WITHOUT A DEGREE IN A POSTION THAT NEEDS ONE OR ANYONE WHO LIED AND USED THEIR CONNECTIONS TO GET INTO EMIRATES SHOULD BE MADE REDUNDANT IMMEDIATELY / why do not these people understand? They are the ones ruining this company!!!! More bad news coming there is no way out – Ryanair made more profit than emirates – u know why because even with profit they shared with staff and kept morale high. And even after flydubai crash, emirates crash and idiots running this company they still don’t understand – very bad days ahead. Firing is not just the solution – having qualified people is and that is what will cost them.

Wake up emirates bosses, I couldn’t agree more, they always blame external factors but they never admit that MANAGEMENT IS INCOMPETENT!
They make the wrong decisions, they treat staff badly and they overwork them, exhausted staff makes mistakes, mistakes leads to accidents and accidents leads to lower consumer confidence.
All the above equals lower profit.

Emirates Airline Profits Plunge
A combination of geopolitical and macroeconomic factors brought about a sharp reduction in earnings at Emirates in the 2016-17 financial year, the Dubai-based airline reported on Thursday.
Net profit dropped 82.5% compared to 2015-16, at AED1.25 billion ($340 million) compared to net profit of AED7.13 billion ($1.94 billion) last year. Revenue for the period was static at AED85 billion ($23.1 billion), ATW Online reported.
Emirates Group chairman and CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said the aviation and travel markets were notoriously vulnerable to social, economic and political events, and “for us, this year has been a particularly testing one”.
He cited a combination of global terrorist attacks, the attempted coup in Turkey, the UK’s vote to leave the European Union and the election of US President Donald Trump.
Maktoum said the last of these factors, in particular, had affected Emirates, noting that the new US administration “in its first three months issued a raft of new measures relating to entry requirements, enhanced security vetting procedures and restrictions on personal electronic devices in aircraft cabins … These all directly impacted Emirates’ operations into the US.”
The airline’s figures for 2016-17 show that an 8.1% rise in the number of passengers carried, which reached 56.1 million, did not keep pace with a 10.3% increase in capacity, measured in ASKs, which rose to 368 billion. Load factor dropped 1.4 points to 75.1%.
Cargo carried increased 2.7% to 2.58 million tons.
Over the year, Emirates added 35 aircraft to its fleet while retiring 27, the largest fleet roll-over program in the carrier’s history and one that brought its average fleet age down to 63 months, compared with 74 months last year. The industry average is 140 months.

Yes yes yes thanks to the horrible dollar, brexit, trump, laptop ban, united dragging their passenger in the aisle, $250 staff a month while the rest of the world pays $1250 for same job, cheap oil, flying unicorns we had to make a loss. Its their fault. We have amazing management. Uneducated staff who dont know how to spell. But they are geniuses I tell you. It’s Uniteds and strong euro i mean dollar fault. Yes all their fault. We are perfect. We are emirates. Here take $250 million for football sponsorship as it is vital to our expansion. Yes what do you mean we had a crash. No crash – it was the wind – it blew the plane away. We are the best – listen to me we are the best. Everyone else is to blame. Everything else is to blame. We will fill the planes – did you not hear? We are introducibg direct flights to antarctica? Discover it yourself – we will also park the planes there – a tribute to how great we are. We are the first and best to introduce direct flights to antractica 3 times a day 7 days a week.

It seems to be very quiet here these days. Have all the staff quit the king of the skies already? One big news of the day is the Irish man, the head of the most vital department at EK which is Flight Ops has called it quits. Mr HD the DSVP is leaving. Not confirmed where but no more with EK. Last week was his number 2 Mr JA SVP. More news to come – get the popcorn ready or the tissue papers ready – depending on which side of the coin you prefer. Good luck to all still there and congrats to all who is making their way out. There is no doubt then unless emirates is building another airline, bad bad days ahead. Hello Future because tomorrow looks really bad.

John Alsford didn’t have the same level of integrity as Henry. Both are leaving which shows the depths that EK are plumbing. The next crash is around the corner.

Did they start laying off/ Firing Cabin Crew? Especially those with Industrial Injuries, past. A lot is being heard, on-board, that they give one-year contracts, or even not renewing contracts, or firing for any reason they can find. Can someone confirm this? Laying off people for industrial injury is really inhumane. If someone knows something please confirm.
Also Rumors say that Terry Daly has resigned.

Emirates airline profits plunge 82.5% in past year
11 MAY 2017
Carrier posts first drop in annual profits for five years, hit by US dollar’s rise, competition and travel restrictions.

Emirates airline has blamed fierce competition, currency devaluations and US travel restrictions as it reported an 82.5 percent plunge in annual profits for the last fiscal year.
The Dubai-based company said net profit at its airline business dropped to $340m in the year to March 31, down from $1.9bn in the previous 12 months – its first decline in annual profit for five years.
The fall was the result of the US dollar’s “relentless rise” against currencies in its key markets and pressure on ticket prices due to stiff competition, the airline said in a statement.
Emirates’ US flight cut ‘not permanent’, says Tim Clark
Company chief Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum also pointed to “destabilising events which have impacted travel demand during the year”.
These included Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, several attacks in Europe and restrictions on travel to the United States from the Middle East.
In April, Emirates began slashing 20 percent of its 126 weekly flights to the US, one of the airline’s biggest growth potential markets, because of a drop in demand caused by tougher security measures and the Trump administration’s attempts to ban travellers from some Muslim-majority nations.
Dubai was one of 10 cities in Muslim-majority countries affected by a ban on laptops and other electronics in carry-on luggage aboard flights to the US.
Maktoum said the company expected “the year ahead to remain challenging”.
John Strickland, a UK-based aviation consultant, told the Reuters news agency he expected Emirates “to keep a tighter rein on its capacity growth in the short to medium term”.
Despite the challenges, the airline carried a record 56.1 million passengers in 2016-17, up 8 percent from the previous year.
But the company added more seats than it could fill in 2016-17, leading to a drop in the average yield per passenger.
The higher passenger capacity pushed up the carrier’s fuel bill by 6 percent to $5.7bn, despite a softening in average fuel price, Emirates said.
“There’s been an overcapacity in the market – Emirates are getting 75 percent of their seats filled but they are putting more capacity in with more aircraft,” Alan Peaford, editor-in-chief of the Arabian Aerospace magazine, told Al Jazeera from Essex, UK.
Peaford said he expected Emirates to continue expanding despite a decision to “pull back the delivery” of some planes.
“They will need to continue to invest because always in the aviation industry we have peaks and troughs – and Emirates in the past have shown to be incredibly wily and buying airplanes in a trough,” he said.
Airlines around the world have reported pressure on fares over the past couple of years due to volatile demand and cut-throat competition, though Europe’s major carriers have recently noted signs of the pressure easing.

The above as reported in the media is true – but probably few weeks too old. This is probably just the few from senior management and it’s staff that have left or are leaving. It is a lot of rubbish this being – the peoples who are making many effect such as the uneducated managers and corrupt managers is the problem Ek is not able to fixing. Dragana i wishing you sharing more stories – because emirates 3 months back opening new channel called SpeakUp where staff being ask to sharing in “confidence” any info they having. But it is pure LIE because it is going to HR who is being most corrupt – I’m thinking staff believing this will bring change. It is a LIE because the corrupt peoples are still working at EK. And most being about HR – so how can HR monitor SpeakUp program when they are corrupt. If program actually worked all the corrupt thief nepotism managers will be fired but we are seeing them everyday. Only small Grade staff getting let go while the corrupt being still in their desk drinking costas coffee — WHEN WILL IT STOP? This airline losing money everyday but just to save face they are not firing the corrupt ones who getting paid every day for fake lies and no contributions

HH Sheikh Al Makhtoum hope you get to read my quote…I was made to work like a donkey by my Line Manager in Delhi. He then moved on to Thai Airways and now is heading Finance Department in Etihad Airways.
I happened to bring in certain irregularities to the notice of Abdullah Nasser Abdullah the then VP India & Nepal as of which never got any annual appraisal’s due to my line managers angst towards me. These Managers just look to enhance their CVs milking staff like me and than looking for lucrative careers … leaving guys like me with no option but to perish. It was a real pride and honour to work for Emirates but the line managers looking for their personal growth and glory kill that feeling within .. Being associated with Emirates for a brief period was a privelege and a real honour. Thank you for the opportunity HH…
