Very true. Releasing such a ridiculous list of demands in public will work against your aims.
The 5 major areas should have been identified and specific figures justified with rational arguments, which reflect the bottom line.
Calculate how much the VAT and other risen expenses costs the pilot, have a number. Calculate how much the company would have to pay for such a pay rise in toto. Offset it against the costs of staff turnover.
The bottom line is that unless the Company is feeling financial pain or corporate image deterioration, it has no motive to increase compensation and leave whilst reducing workload.
If I were a manager at EK I would dismiss this letter with significant irritation to say the least.
