I don't think ANZ guys comming to dubai for three year contracts will decrease our T&Cs, in fact it may have the opposite effect.
I was in AKL when the recruiting guys were doing their thing re- roadshow and they said most of the interest came from S/O and F/Os.
At best it is a short term recruiting goal with the slight possibillity that some of them might decide to stay after three years.
It would then follow: that it would be in the best interest of EK to make these guys want to stay and the only way to do that is to pay and treet us all well. They will not be captive and all have good jobs to return to after all.
It is a great opportunity for these guys, we all would have liked the same offer when we came over here. Most pilots in EK enjoy the first few years of life style in the UAE, after that it can get tough for some. Great aircraft and flying with a job back at home when your time is up! or perhaps stay on for the command?
If things are tough in ANZ and you can't see an end to it any time soon then you really should consider the offer seriously.
