The rosters came out early because they were built manually bidding is over.
Heard a rumour that EK was going to offer a Captains salary of 20K usd a month in return for deletion of bid system , manual rosters only with requests for days off only on special occasions . 1 months leave instead of 6 weeks.
No more o/time but you may get rostered 90+ hours a month.
will end up doing 1000 hrs a year.
Go for it ...................
