Their claim, if this thread is actually true, is for discrimination. Nothing to do with a contract. Discrimination can and has been proved many times AFTER contracts are signed. Especially in European Courts of law. ( hint!).And no, we are NOT 'contract' Pilots in the sense that others may be. You join EK on an open contract like BA, Lufthansa, AA etc.
Emirates is quite happy to go to Airbus claiming against loss incured from delayed A380's. Not so happy to pay out compensation in the form of bypass pay when it involves its own staff. Perhaps the 'compensation' from Airbus will be passed onto these guys
And just because the Boeing guys were disadvantaged 4 years ago, is no reason to accept it now. 10 year old kids were sent down mines less than 100 years ago but it doesn't happen now because someone had the balls to say "enough is enough!" Good luck to them if this is true!
