Pay Review
Calculating a basic 76 hr month for a captain, this equates to a 16% payrise, inclusive of the 3% step pay. Those who are going to stay will be pleased to take it..better than nothing but not really up to expectations. However, and it's a pretty big however..I doubt it will do anything whatsoever to encourage those who are planning to leave to change their minds. Nor will it convince others to join who have decided EK is not for them. And I thought that was what the whole reason this pay review was being being reluctantly offered.
Too little, too late. (and I guess Ed the talking mule has only got 1/2 the egg on his face...having promised the world with immediate effect, we get 1/2 of what it needed to be, and we have to wait till May to get it. Maybe Ed will learn from this one?)
