Getting the bonus, no matter how big or small is great. The issue I have with it all is that every year we are having to deliver 30% more profit to the group. Every year this gets tougher but is still delivered. All we get at the end of it is 2 weeks. Over the last 5 years EK's profitability has gone through the roof yet nothing is reinvested into the staff who actually generated that profit.
Another major reduction in Terms and Conditions to be introduced shortly does not affect flight deck crew but general management in EK. Anyone moving up from a Grade 9 to a Grade 10 will no longer be entitled to firm Business upgrade First tickets. This is applicable for both personal and duty travel. The one major benefit of the promotion has now been taken away.
