To carry on with previous post.
EK has nearly 5 Billion USD in cash reserves floating around the world making god knows what in interest!!They have made profit hand over fist every year they have been operating.They look at every which way they can to cut costs and it seems to be derived from employee salaries and down route allowances!!Some destination allowances have been halved over the years!!
20 years ago an F/O started on circa 15000dhs(2300 pounds) now they start on circa 18000dhs(2700 pounds) what has happened?? GREED,APATHY ARROGANCE and a complete lack of understanding of the current flight crew recruiting market!!Their cheapskate ways have led them to a situation where the flight crew pay is quite CRAP and hardly worth getting out of bed for, for those worth their salt! We are quite literally parking planes on certain days now!!
EK are cheapskates and do not like to pay their employees their true worth and will skive twist parry squirm their way out of any situation to do so FACT!!
year on year they make profit 2 years ago they admitted to having ****** up on the profit target an as a result HAD to pay us 10 weeks bonus(not bad) they vowed not to let this happen again so raised the profit bar considerably.So after the big boys took their 110million usd in DIVIDEND and god knows what else AND after they Sponsored Arsenal for 100million pounds and god knows who else they were in a position to declare their profit of 750million USD or thereabouts and paid us 4weeks minus 8 days!!This is double the profit as of the previous year!! They are so hell bent on investing in EVERYTHING else apart from the SINGLE most important thing for an airline to operate and EXPAND that is qualified PILOTS (sorry everybody else) that the airline is sliding backwards at a rapid rate due to this!! IT WILL BITE!
SO EK wake up dig a little deeper into those pockets and pay up or continue to lose the edge year on year.
wake up cheapskates!!
Keep recovering
