I don't think EK management will shiver in their boots
Even with MAS drivers getting the mentioned pay rise, it doesn't even come close to what the Mid East Carriers are offering.Rumour has it that the new ED of MAS (who's a highly regarded beancounter) held back the new deal so he can compare to what the market pays........Let's just say that he didn't need all his accounting skills to know that MAS had a sweet deal......& promptly signed off the deal
