We will have to see over the coming months whether the bidding has in fact changed. If the muppets in management think that by restricting something ie days off in a row - from a commuting point of view, they will just p*ss off the pilot workforce even more. When will those dunces / thick heads realise that people work better when they are happy, when they feel valued, when they feel they have the managments support.
As of now I am sorry to say that people are not happy (company making profits but poeple still looking for other jobs), they do not feel valued (pilot rest boeing at rear of aircraft to save a coupe of seats so unable to sit on crew rest if not sleepy). they do not feel trusted (just wait for the call to see the managers because you decided to hand fly the aircraft!!).
EK is a joke at the moment, well to be truthful it has been for quite some time. I keep hoping that one day everything will magically come together - but at the moment that day is too far ahead to even contemplate.
For those of you out there that think EK is the be all and end all - it is not, it will not be for a long time. BEWARE.
