Emirates Airlines: Sheiks of Middle East Customer Service

Today, I was given amazing service by Emirates Airlines having just arrived in Dubai from London. I had been excited to fly for the first time on the A380 Airbus. My ticket was originally booked as an economy ticket, but I was given a complimentary upgrade when I checked in, as space was available. However, the A380 was delayed for several hours for some reason. So when I landed with Air Canada in London, England from Halifax, Nova Scotia, I was met at the AC doorway by an Emirates employee. She walked me through the UK customs fast track. At that time, I was given the option to wait a minimum of 3 additional hours at Heathrow for the A380, or they could drive me to Gatwick Airport for a flight at my originally scheduled time. It would “only be” a Boeing 777, but I said “Ok” to the Gatwick option because I was already arriving after midnight.

I’m a firefighter with the Wesley Township Volunteer Fire Department.

We don’t get a lot of thank yous or pats on the back, but it always makes us proud to serve and protect our community when we hear songs about fire-fighters.

We don’t risk it all everyday because we have to and we don’t get paid either. We do it because this what we love and will do until we can’t anymore.

So from all of us at the Wesley Fire Department, thanks for your support.

Today I saw my dad head out the door for work.

I usually get up when my dad gets up, to say good bye and I love you. We have an extra pager at home, so I can listen. A call came in for a building fire. I heard my Dad’s voice say: “Trucks on the way.”

I started to listen to what they are saying. Mr. Zeemer said “there is a fire fighter stuck in the building.” I started to cry. Then I heard my dad say, “I got him” and I felt a big weight come off my shoulders.

He knew I was listening and he then said “what’s for Luch baby girl?”
