I must have missed something here. (Flak jacket on). ...I go on leave and I still get paid, I have been sick and I still get paid...well at least it seems I do, there is always money in the bank.
Perhaps my pay is not calculated the same as "American Top Line Airlines", with "trip rigs, jigs and gigs" or whatever else they offer. But under the contract I have with EK, they seem to pay me every month.
And thats the big thing....I am reasonably sure that my pay will be in the bank each month....if I was in the Land of the Free at the moment I might be a little worried that I might find out I did not have a job next week.
However..each to thier own. But I dont think you can take a job at EK and then complain that conditions you had before are not "exported" with you.
Got my hat and coat.....Im gone................
