My two dirhams worth but I think (777 at least) that the disillusionment of a stagnant quality of life from a rostering perspective, will overtake any woes of no pay rise, should that be the case. Whilst the bidding system is far from perfect, getting days off when you wanted them prior to the pandemic wasn't the gargantuan task that it is now.
COVID forced us all to live on less cash for a period of time and isolated us from family back home for many months. As has been said already, it realigned what is important in life for many. Should the company fail to offer anything, I suspect it may turn some to evaluate their future with EK.
