It's not only you guys
Following al the threads on EK and the scheduling problems at the moment, I'd like to mention that EK isn't the only airline where this occurs....
My employer in europe does have the same "opportunities" as crew scheduling of EK. opportunity (according management books) = a problem isn't a problem but a possibilty the change your own future.
After a social talk to one of the schedulers this morning I heard the following: "In total there are 32 positions (fo and cap) open for the next week, so please can you fly asap!?"
For the record I wasn't at home for a week or something, I was in my first day off.
And w're talking about a non expanding only reducing costs company here!
Conclussion:
As soon as figure people gain power, working people are slaves.
Unless..... We (the people) stick together and the rules!
United you stand, even if it's not allowed by law!
