Take take take, that's the new EK way
In the past 2-3 years, they took away our credits for leave (making it now guaranteed days off, not paid leave), took away the credits for reserve and simulator, the ground school is replaced by CBT on your own time, and now they limit the days off to increase productivity, what's next? The airline wants to increase it's pilots work force by 25% this year. It took them over 20 years to achieve the 2000 pilots status and want to grow by that much in a single year when they are cutting and cutting and cutting while achieving record profits....Good luck. The inflation is a record high with a currency at record low, so bad that the government employees get a 70% pay increase to compensate, we get a net salary decrease year after year.
Keep on discovering (or recruiting! would be a better word)
