Still a number of pilots are forced into unpaid leave even though most of them gave up their bases in Europe and the option to return in a year or two just to join the ops in AUH fearing that they'll be next to let go after the rounds back in last April.
Some who are joined were recalled a few months after being laid off.
The good thing is that two ex-EK clowns sitting in management in BUD had their plans stalled to fill the seats in AUH with their ex-EK cronies, for now that is, at least.
T&C-s seems to be inconsistent in AUH: some are still in a hotel where they are put up by WZZ, some one their own, renting and some are back in Europe on unpaid. Heard different things about allowances which are not in line at all with the money advertised last year...
