Shall I cut and past my post from April 9th again? Here we go:
"
I'm betting on a BIG bonus (even close to 16 weeks) and only a marginal pay increase (maybe 5-10%). By far the cheapest formula for EK: 1 time expenditure, no risks for the future and most of the skippers are blinded by a bonus....
Zero impact on pensions, future pay....AND they can attract huuuge crowds with this big carrot...
Some senior skippers may jump the ship now but I think EK doesn't care so much. They only work big numbers and most of us are stuck here anyway (at least for a while).
They set to the tone with the rosters last february.... right?
They are very very clever."
Now get ready for 5 to 10% pay rise. Wait and see....
Remember they are more clever than you....
