Terrible this has happened again. One of the guys has just been there for 10 months and feared this would happen. After assurances from accommodation he would be secure he moved to the place they recommended. After paying a load of cash out of his own pocket after his first forced move. Now what is to happen? Once again more money to dish out and the terrible stress of dealing with the accommodation department. Not to mention the usual unrest and disruption to the family. Most don’t give it a second thought as they have not been affected. However I sense that this problem will escalate and cause grief to many. The dreamers think that we have a chance of a payrise.This will never happen. With the spiralling rents in Dubai which will completely gobble up any part of the budget allocated to the pilots package for an increment or pay increase. Emirates will simply refuse to pay any more rent and continually move you to cheaper accommodation at your own cost. They may give a paltry increase in the rental allowance at the next review which will benefit the 7-10 % of the guys living in their own houses however for the rest it is next to useless. I don’t need to keep discovering I have known this painful reality for to long.
