I really don't think that this or any other forum is your only representation. From what it says on this thread and others, the pilots do have representation. They represent themselves when they talk directly to the management (this thread is talking about the pilots meeting.) The problem seems to come from the fact that the management is not willing to listen to the pilots about the problems and concerns that they have and there is no way for the pilots to apply any sort of pressure to make them listen. I can't see the laws in the middle east changing for a long time so the ability to apply pressure is not going to come. By the way those who are thinking of moving your families to the middle east keep that in mind. Things may be acceptable for you now but it appears that you have no way of insuring they stay that way.
So what can the Emirates pilots do? It looks like nothing. A big nothing. Talk of boycott is not the answer. By doing that you just take away the "only" true representation that you have. Perserverance is the key. Keep it up. Keep representing yourselves at those meetings. Keep telling them those problems and maybe some of them will get solved. The management must know the concerns are real and not just something that you thought of on the way to the meeting. There will not be a winfall all of a sudden, it will take a long time to get any sort of concession.
And always remember the management will reap what they sow. If they make to much of a mess, not only the pilots will suffer but the whole airline.
Crazy.
