A buddy of mine now works in the country United of Emirates. He has been working there for a few years now and there are surprising and funny events. I am sure we all have our stories but I thought this was one for the books.
OPERATIONAL FLIGHT DELAY SUMMARY :
- EK105 was delayed from DXB by 63 minutes, due to difficulties loading a Lamborghini automobile. There was also difficulty offloading it in ATH, which led to a 19 minute delay on EK106 out of ATH.
- EK843 returned to stand to offload a lady, who had fainted. She was in a party of 8 and 3 of the party came off. Total delay was 41 minutes.
- EK524 had to hold for almost an hour over HYD, as the airport runway lights had failed. The flight arrived 56 minutes late. EK525 departed 40 mins late.
He recieved a new revision to the Employee Handbook regarding Annual Leave tickets home:
"Where more than one spouse exists, the Annual Leave Ticket will be provided only to the spouse who is nominated by the employee."
In that country it is common to have more than one wife.
Assimilate this .........
