Business Meeting
It is worth going to the meeting as you get a clear picture of where the company stands in terms of its financial position. You also are informed of what various departments are doing to help prop up revenues and reduce costs. Rumours are also clarified and this helps to reduce the uncertainty (eg: EK has not been sold to anyone, there are no plans to defer aircraft deliveries, A380s have not been sold/leased to anyone, only one new route opening this year- DUR, unpaid leave is not going to be offered for the moment, new uniform will be rolled out across the company very soon, no redundancies in the pipeline). As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, EK is in much better shape than many airlines. It is important for everyone to be thankful that we have a job and we must do all we can to keep the airline robust during this difficult period.
