Hey - stop complaining! At least you will get your
X weeks profit share!
The way I always said is:
CABINCREW ONLY GET HALF!!!
Reason: Everyone gets the profitshare on the basic salary... Sadly, basic salary in the cabin is only about half of the whole salary (no flight hours included - unlike the pilots)- flight pay is extra! But: no profit share on the flight pay...
By the way - loved the article from Zawya! There are only 6000+ CC working for EK at the moment? And they trained last year 60/ week???
Basic maths: 60*50= 3000! Just before I left EK in 2004 there were exactly 5700 CC (23.09.2004) ... Less than 1000 CC increase in the last year and a half? With how many new planes? Guess the changing from max flight hours/month to max duty hours helped them meeting the requirement of being able to man all the new planes
Oh well.. glad to look at it all from the distance for the moment... getting my 13th + 14th salary in June and Nov, ... not having to worry every year wether we get a profit share or not...
- it's great to be at home!
