France loves Richard Anderson:
Pour financer la moitié de notre vaste organisme expansion et le transfert des milliers de bons emplois payants pilote à la France, nous sommes reconnaissants.
Richard was awarded the Medal of Officer of the Legion D’Honneur, the Legion of Honor, France’s highest award for services to the state, during a ceremony in Paris Monday.
Jean-Cyril Spinetta, chairman and CEO of the Air France-KLM group, presented the Insignia of the Legion D’Honneur on behalf of the president of the Republic.
“It is a great honor to present you with this prestigious award in recognition of your professional achievements and expression of our esteem of your personal merits,” Jean-Cyril said. He noted Richard’s leadership in the airline industry, including the completion of the successful merger between Delta and Northwest, as well as being a key player in creating the transatlantic joint venture between Air France-KLM, Alitalia and Delta.
The Legion D’Honneur was created in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte and originally was awarded to military personnel, but was later extended to include civilians. It is exceptional to be awarded to a foreigner and even more exceptional for a non-French national to be named to the rank of officer.
“It is a true privilege to receive this award,” Richard said. “Our forbears believed that peoples of different nations achieve great things when cooperating and learning from one another. Today that cooperation is very much in evidence with our JV between Air France-KLM and Alitalia.”
The presentation was attended by senior executives of Delta, Air France and KLM and key government and aviation officials.

I stumbled on this the other day in the Foreign section of the forums. It helped me deal with the jealousy over their growth. All told, I guess I wouldn't uproot the family and move there, even for the bigger paycheck. Sounds like a lot of the guys there view Emirates as a stepping stone.
"Now, would I go back to the US? Absolutely. Would I go back to a US regional? Hell to the NO! Would I leave a US regional to come to Emirates? Absolutely. Is it Delta Airlines? No. You'll work to the max, and you'll be tired and jet lagged. There's no ALPA here, no union contract, and they can modify your contract at their whim - they actually did that when they raised the overtime threshold at Emirates - again, you can quit or you can put up with it.
Having said that, show me a US airline that will pay for your house or apartment, pay your utilities, and give you over 7 grand take-home pay after it's all said and done - TO START... AS A FIRST OFFICER."

If they offer that kind of $$$, what does that say about QOL? Most guys I talk to who work for Emirates view it as a stepping stone. Suck it up, make a little tax free nest egg, get some WB time, & come back home. Emirates HAS to offer this stuff to attract the pilots they need.
