Fellow Flyertalkers
We have piqued the interest of Emirates in joining our forum on an official capacity.
They have asked our contributors to answer a short survey (questions not set by EK) to see what sort of engagement we would be interested in.
The Moderator & Ambassador Team would be grateful if you could spend a few moments and complete the questions below using the same format in a normal post.
If there is an interest from Flyertalk Members in having an Official Emirates representation on the forum and they agree to come onboard, this information will allow them to make sure their role is beneficial to the forum and its members.
If EK take up the invitation, the role may develop over time and to ensure that both the Flyertalk Community and EK benefit from their involvement, the community are asked to follow any guidelines posted in the future if our invitation is accepted.
Thanks
Q1:
Would you like to see an Official EK Representative on Flyertalk? (If NO, could you please give your reasons as this will also be assessed in the feedback).
Q2:
If Emirates were to join the forum in an official capacity, what contributions would you like to see from them?
Q3:
Which online resource do you go to most when looking for information about flying Emirates or their Frequent Flyer Programme, Skywards? Emirates Website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flyertalk or other Social Media/Online site? List sites in order of usage.
Any other comments:
Thanks for taking the time to answer this short survey.

Still awaiting feedback from EK, they do seem to be taking their time which makes one wonder what level of interest they really have - but to be fair, their PR team has likely been quite busy with the DAS, 100th A380, new F, etc

If they can't respond in 2 months then it doesn't look that good. There will always be other things going on I'm sure.

Let's be honest - which serious company takes 4 months to make a decision on something like this? It must be pretty low priority for them.
In any case if the lurker(s) are as clueless as the ones on Etihad forum then it will probably bring negative value.....

If they are as clueless and behave in a similar way to the EY lurker then from my side at lest I'll be happy to tell them to just quit and not waste our time, I think Zol and Saltire74 have been quite clear in their comms to EK what the expectations are, we're hoping to have an update very soon.

Another 6 months and nothing. I see the news thread has been locked too. It wasn't much use anyway but should it be read as the death of any official involvement from Emirates here on FT?

Personally I'm disappointed and don't see value being added
