Villa shortage? No way. After the announcement of our paltry profit share and pay raise, there will a number of villas come available. If I have it right, there will be any number available around September 1. That's three months after the resignations hit on June 1. Time enough to divest of furniture, cars, etc. So new joiners, there will be plenty of villas and decent used cars available to you around September 1.
Ten percent plus, inflation, rostering patterns of limited time off, standby duty on a designated day off, ULH flying with minimal down route rest, inadequate rest facilities on aircraft. Lousy salary compared with the rest of the premier carriers in the world. US carriers (failing as they are) .paying close to 70,000dhs/mo., Korean paying 48,000dhs/mo with world wide basings, all for 777 capts, Ek paying 30-40dhs and required resisdence in Dubai. EK bosses had better get their heads out of the sand or they will find not only guys and gals leaving, but will find they will have a hard time recruiting enough experience to fill their pretty jets. It is a sad state of affairs when recruiters have to apologize for anything during road shows and interviews (ref. housing) They have an opportunity coming up, will they rise to the occasion or continue their path of mediocrity? As my old football coach used to say, "you can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t."
