From Abbas
Colleagues-
As part of the continuing cost containment review within Flight Operations, the decision has been made to withdraw the availability of lounge facilities, currently on offer to EK pilots when they conduct simulator duties, in the CAE building. Lounge facilities are not offered to flight or cabin crew in our other training facilities, so this move serves to standardise the facilities offered during all training duties. The move is also consistent with our drive to further reduce costs across the airline during these challenging economic times.
CAE management has been informed of our decision to withdraw support for the lounge facility so, with immediate effect; pilots are not to use the lounge facilities when conducting simulator duties in the CAE building.
Thank you for your assistance and understanding in this matter.
Prepare the lube, there is way more to come habibis.
