EK - Leave 2016/17

[lospilotos]

So, what are the odds that they'll manage to publish the leave by 16:00 tomorrow?

[Pilot_Recruit]

Probably quite easily because they won't be giving out any leave! ;)

[donpizmeov]

A premonition....

"Congratulations to the leave department, who worked tirelessly when not on public holidays and were able to achieve an average of 30 days leave to those pilots that received leave. The Second round of leave bidding will open shortly to give false hope to the others. For those that celebrate Christmas, please do not let this interfere with your duties." :ok:

[nolimitholdem]

"EK - Leave 2016/17"

Why yes, many are.

Leaving, that is.

[lospilotos]

They failed. Quelle surprise!

[springbok449]

Wonder what would happen if we turned up late for every duty...? Or maybe we should get a pat on the back when we are on time...:ugh:

[delorean79]

it is there... click on leave history on the right side of LASS.

And I don't want to start talking about spoon-feeding.

[JNPS]

The leave page is currently blank, they might be uploading?

[lospilotos]

it is there... click on leave history on the right side of LASS.

And I don't want to start talking about spoon-feeding.

Well, I´ll wait to pop-open the champagne until it shows up under "Confirmed leave"....

[springbok449]

Spoon feeding please...

[TineeTim]

Hahaha. Brilliant. If anyone ever doubts that we have some very clever, sneaky c**ts working for this company, they need look no further than señor Delorean's post. My hat is off to you, sir. 🍻🍻

[Monarch Man]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd...still nothing.

[flareflyer]

are you so surprised?

[delorean79]

Spoon-feeding round 2.

Do not click on the 'Leave History' tab, but on the 'View Your Leave History" hyperlink.

I know it's not under the 'Confirmed Leave' tab... but I haven't been Emiratized yet, so I'll take it as it is. The LASS system data has been uploaded... someone pushed the button at 16:00. That it was the wrong button is another story.

[Monarch Man]

Annnnnnnd still nothing, nada, zilch, zero.

:ugh: why am I not surprised?

[Desert Camel]

10 days... a joke!

[GoreTex]

requested 10 days in May, the month of my resignation but didn't get it, didn't request for peak leave in 12 years but can't get leave in May

[DuneMentat]

got the 3 weeks in apr/may i wanted but not the 2 weeks in November.. :confused:

777FO

[WhiteFly]

cudos to don for finding it !

Got 30 days with 20 peak.. happy camper on fatbus LHS

[paxtus]

8 days in April. :D
Really? That's it?

CA 777

[Ophion]

Only 7 days awarded.

[Dubaiforever]

can't complain :D

[Ngenfire]

Off peak bid unsuccessful. 20 days in August awarded. Still owed 14 days before April to achieve the 30 legally required but everything I request, in good time, is denied. Next step letter to CP.

B777 CA

[alwayzinit]

Told by LASS to bid for Peak as I would have "priority" so bid accordingly and get 14 days in Oct :confused::confused::mad:

CA 777

[Trader]

Nothing on my hyperlink but the actual history to date. The hyperlink on the rightside under reserve dates.

[27k]

All I asked for and yes, that includes 2 weeks in summer :ok:

777 FO

[White Knight]

Told by LASS to bid for Peak as I would have "priority" so bid accordingly and get 14 days in Oct

Similar with the 'Priority' message and also bid accordingly - but got 14 days in May/June, which isn't a big deal as the kiddies have grown up, but not too impressed by the fact that my RSV month has been shifted to squeeze those dates in!

At least I got 30 total awarded. Now, where are my other 12? Plus the 12 still hanging around from this year?

[JAYTO]

wooooowwwww

7 days awarded from 2 requests

Awesome

J

[skyvan]

Can't complain from my side, bid for 2 blocks of 21 days off, any time during non-peak, got them both.

Low seniority 777 LHS.

[littlejet]

Nothing! Nada!
LHS T7 with green peak!
Did any T7 Capt got anything in peak?
And the HR dude wants me to "vouch" for my friends.
You for real?

[KCW]

23 days requested, 21 days awarded. :ok::D

B777 FO

[flareflyer]

Sorry gents, where can you find your awarded leave???

[BLOGGSON]

So just to be clear, awarded leave is found via the hyper link underneath the reserve dates banner on the right of the page? If so I got all that I asked for: 19 days June and 17 days September. Sounds too good to be true.

[Uplink]

Yep where is the leave award allocation?

[apron]

9 days total.....off peak! Bid for 21 days peak when green for it....diddly ! :ugh:

[BLOGGSON]

Just queried this with planners and told to wait as review is not complete. So how sure are you all that what you see is kosher?

[Uplink]

Don't forget also this is just round 1 of the bidding. You have round 2 to become equally disappointed !

[GoreTex]

I guess lots of people requested leave in April and May because they will be leaving end of May (including me), thats why I didn't get my leave in May, 18 years doesn't count as usual, guess I just have to press 2.

[Laker]

777 CA

Just did 16 months with 1 week of leave. Was "green" for peak leave. Bid for peak and non peak. Awarded 0. :mad:

[guemes]

14 days awarded in Feb 2017. Last leave in June 2015. YGTBSM!

[SOPS]

Laker and Guemes, there is something badly wrong there. You should talk to your CP.

[X-BleedOpen]

380 FO,

got nothing I asked for, with two very wide range bids of 60 days.

YGTBFKM!!!!!!!!

This is just too much to take in guys... I'm seriously getting pissed off with this :mad: .

[bittersweetheart]

Working my notice. Awarded 2 weeks of Peak Leave as well as the 2 weeks non-peak requested in my first choice... surely someone having a laugh?

:ugh:

[sluggums]

Bittersweet, not really, they're trying to flatter you into staying... :mad:

[yardman]

Does anyone know when the official leave awards will be published?

[Trader]

I'll swap with you bittersweet :)

[drop kick]

The link is not there anymore, nor any record of the leave??:D:D

[GoreTex]

problem solved the emirates way

[bigdaviet]

We have blogs son to thank for that!

[Basic Service]

Left seat 330... Had 1 day of peak leave ( allocated on the last day of peak leave in 14/15 ) last year so did not qualify for peak this year... Got my sixth choice only which is possibly a half term for my sprog in November........:{

Absolutely no peak leave since 2014 until April 2017... ( apart from that 1 day ) good job the wife sees the funny side....:}

[BigGeordie]

Wives tend to see the funny side right up to the point they don't. Then they ask for their repatriation ticket. See ya!

[fliion]

Am I the only one who cannot find any leave award or does this just mean - I'm getting no leave.

???

You should have at least 10 days in the peak period for it to count as peak leave...

[ekpilot]

Nothing to do with guys posting here! All has to do with the incompetent bureaucrats. They can't be bothered! Why should they? All they have to do is send you a silly I'm so sorry we are late again. How many more occasions do you need to prove the obvious... Failures after failures to deliver. Time to adjust the pink goggles I think. Not only the company blames prune. Now I see lots of brain washed people defending the "if you're not happy..." Model.

Just plain combination of incompetence and arrogance. :D

[BLOGGSON]

More fool you idiots like tirren for believing anything you gleaned from a process that was clearly not complete and for which no official announcement had been made. Until they do so, the LASS page is bollocks.

[Fack5]

Blogs were you by any chance also the plonker who complained that the published roster didn't match the Apollo sneak peak? Someone always screws it for the rest.

[777-200LR]

As BLOGGSON said, since when did we become so focused on something that is unofficial and entirely incomplete? :ugh::ugh::ugh: Ah yes, the same bunch of guys who call scheduling as soon as the rosters are advertised wanting to know where their morning EURO trip disappeared to....

[Basic Service]

The ( new ) rule about having to have had 10 days or whatever to count as peak leave starts from the next leave year.... So as I am going to have the 9th of Jan off, I got a red box not a green one:sad:

[Rim-job]

I'm glad I'm leaving the $hit-hole...

Thankfully I don't have to wait for the kick in the nut$ that is about to occur on the 20th. I'll be gone to greener pastures in a short time so leave is something of the past... T-47 days and counting.

Can't wait. I feel for you all, I really do! Unfortunately, those in power have their heads in the sand. Nothing will change and employees will continue to give, give, give... with very little in return. :ugh:

I wish you all the best.... and remember, press 2 if all else fails. :ok:

[lospilotos]

Well you should have questioned that because I did for a fact have that confirmed in writing last year when I got 4 days peak leave.

[JAYTO]

looks like they had "planned" to give me 7 days in August.

Now I have nothing at all.


Farkin excellent job guys.

J

[apron]

A joke.... 9 days off peak only....priority for peak

[Spoogie]

5 days off peak 2017! Balance denied.:ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh:

[Monarch Man]

Well, nothing awarded which means no Peak Leave 3 years in a row. Any suggestions as to who I email? Oh I almost forgot, 47 days owed, but I'm confident we aren't short of pilots :ugh:

[WhiteFly]

I assume monarch you are on the JD... as on the fatbus seems a dif ball game at the moment.

I got 30 days with 20 peak... LHS low seniority with a balance of 27

[Eau de Boeing]

Same here, 29 allocated of which 14 are peak and about 25 days remaining.
Low Seniority, LHS 380.

[clear to land]

777 10 yrs, 21 days off peak-no peak awarded 2 years running.

[White Knight]

Must have lucked out... 42 days with two blocks of 21 - one peak obviously!

[Craggenmore]

Got everything I requested for peak and non peak.

God bless the 180 that can't carry much cargo!

[eternity]

Hi all,


I'm starting with EK in a week on 777 (apparently).....and have a question about leave.

I hear everyone is flat out, but when the leave bids come in, if I apply/request for all leave that I am entitled to and I don't get it.....does the unused/unallocated leave roll over to the next year (eg: is it banked?).....or does it disappear?

Thanks for you time.


Eternity.

[sluggums]

Yes, but they'll also try to allocate as much of it as they can during the current leave year and give it to you at the most useless times possible. It's manageable for a year or two, but it gets old really quickly when it happens on a regular basis.

[eternity]

Ok. That's a trick my current airline pulls on us at a regular basis.....

Thanks for the heads up mate.


Eternity.

[littlejet]

8 years ago 42 days full allocation to 30 days to 21 days every other year to 14 days now. Exit strategy developing... New joiners beware...

[Praise Jebus]

7 days non peak...happy days

[Rotating Bacon]

"sell in May and go away" is what they say about stocks, I'ill just do the same

[nolimitholdem]

Not all of us habibi, not all of us. :ok:

I was awarded ten days off in a row this month. And next month. And the month after...

Oh wait - this is the Middle East, predominately Emirates forum. My mistake. Had a bit of PTSD for a second.

Good luck to all and sundry. It will get worse before it gets ummm..even more worse.

[The Turtle]

only 8 non-peak days. but it was my first choice.

who do I send the thank you card to?

[Sheikh Your Bootie]

14 days Non-Peak in November 16, terrific.

Now for the other 30 contracted days leave. Round 2...

SyB :zzz:

[kennedy]

10 days off-peak.
LHS B777

Pity it was the balance of this years leave!

Still owed 42 days!:mad::mad:

[PositiveRate876]

Zero in the 1st Round.
52 days to use.

[fatbus]

Dec peak 15 , 21 off peak as requested. Remaining in the bank.
