Sorry to pour cold water on your 20% pay rise sandbox, but this is the standard end of year rumour. Last years rumour was about the same, the result being a “technical allowance” of 10% to pilots & 5% to engineers. This was paid on the basic rate less gratuity so the actual pay rise was about 2% less than that. The only other pay rise in my time (almost 4 years) was a 3.5% increase if you’d been there 2 years. Once again this was an allowance on the basic rate less gratuity. Oh, and no bonus this year (one months basic salary) which was supposedly guaranteed last year. All this while the USD decreased in value by around 40%.
