Etihad Seniority Number for sale

Shortly on E-Bay a colleague will be offering his Etihad seniority number for sale.

After nearly five years of asking if soon he could be bidding flights. requesting more than 4 days off, other than the mandatory rest between two ULR's. Seing his confirmed bussiness ALT changed to an economy, seeing the brand new villa's going to new joiners and being stuck in an old building and not being allowed to move. Having watched SR from HR appropriate a colleagues apartment and take it as his own and getting the company to cover the AED 170 000 rent. He has come to a drastic decision.

That is by being a founding employee he see's no hope in his future with this company and get's no reward for his time served. His seniority number is entirely useless and he plans on abondoning this farce as soon as possible. In fact he plans to emulate his management team. He will grab all he can get in the short term and then jump onto the next best show.

If there is someone out there who believes that they have a future at Etihad and would like to jump a few steps forward on the non existant seniority list, starting bids for the seniority number will start at AED 10000
Friday evening at 1800 GMT on E-bay.

A UAE lawyer says it is possible to do this and states the example of the current local practice of selling low vehicle number plates for exorbitant sums.

RH said in a recent meeting, we are still relatively young and these things take time.

In fact they don't. What they take is an open checkbook and a managers willingness to spend his budget on his employees quality of life at the expense of his annual bonus.

Our colleague does not want to waste any more time at EY.
