I hope for the sake of TREs etc that the per hour rate (whats it work out to Euro10 per hour?) also applies to the sim, or they only get half of what is offered.
Interesting that the overtime rate is not changed. In its entire history of being around it has only increased once (last year) from Aed 400 to Aed 460. This rate of Aed 460 per hour is now less that the going rate per hour for most captains when dividing monthly salary (including this new Aed45 per hour) by 78hrs. So anyone doing overtime does so at a discount.
I think its very cheeky to split the increase the way they have. 6% which also applies to provident fund, bonus, next years increment,and periods of leave and the per hour rate that does not. Not that I dont trust the grown ups in charge of EK
, but I think I would feel better if the entire increase was offered as a percentage of the basic, rather than flight pay.
What to do?
