Absolute idiots.... and the annoying thing is, u cant be too rude to them on the plane as they would accuse u of getting aggressive and u might wind up behind bars!
They dont have to grin like baboons all the time, but there is no need to be rude either.

Re: Shame on Emirates...
The problems:
1, Emirates passengers seem to be more demanding than others (for that read - arrogant European and local wankers). I'd reckon being an air hostess is a pretty shitty job if it wasn't for the lifestyle.
2, Emirates expansion programme is way way too quick, and thus they can't quality control and train the staff as well as when they were a small airline
3, My main complain is about how cramped the seating is in economy.
4, Most of them have slept with JD. Wouldn't you be depressed if you had that thought on your mind as you flew.
I know a big girl who has bought a Pug 206cc.

As for the passengers Face, you've been here your whole life. Surely you realise that 50% of the British expat population is your stereotypical wideboy who develops a massive superiority complex when he comes here.

GN should do a feature on this and some of those comments made on that website. Atleast that way it might come to Maurice's attention.

The Airport of the Year study is the world's largest, independent Passenger survey of airport standards. Skytrax do not charge airports to be included in the survey, and the results are not based on a limited or finite choice of airports. Survey interviews covered more than 150 airports, and predominantly represent passengers international travel experiences.
The Top 10 Airports in the world for 2005 :

1 Hong Kong Int'l Airport Gold Award
2 Singapore Changi Airport Silver Award
3 Seoul Incheon Airport Bronze Award
4 Munich Airport
5 Kansai International Airport (Osaka)
6 Dubai International Airport
7 KLIA - Kuala Lumpur Airport
8 Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
9 Copenhagen Airport
10 Sydney Airport
Now then....... i decided to skim through the website and found a shocking discovery..... This really is something for all of you folks involved with Emirates and also for those of u involved with media in Dubai....
I found a section on customer reviews for Emirates and they are terrible! I am ashamed of Emirates for having sunk so low in the eyes of international travellers. Read through some of these yourself and you will find the most common complaint is the attitude of cabin crew on all Emirates flights. They are really letting the airline down:

Some of these really deserve to be in the papers so that people like Maurice Flannigan get to read what people really think of Emirates.

Re: Shame on Emirates...
One thing which many people turn a blind eye to is that a percentage of the crew are happy to be propositioned.
If you look at the coffee shops underneath Century Tower, UP Tower etc etc. Every night it is full of Arabic and Lebanese business men etc.
It is common knowledge amonst Crew and flight deck that some girls solicit themselves (and get paid a great deal) to subsidise their wages.
Most of this is done directly below the towers where they all live.

Re: Shame on Emirates...
Face - Emirates flights are full all the time. The management don't care, they're too busy with their plans to double in size.
So if you think the service is bad now, give it five years. Also the CEO has a rep for dumbing down airlines.
I don't think I've ever encountered an Emirates flight attendant with an attitude problem (Granted only had 8 flights with them). I smile, talk to them as human beings, wander up to the back and chit chat. I always get good service.
And the best thing about Emirates - the food is miles better than most other airlines.
