time to pay our overtime
I hope 6% 2 weeks is true......
Seems like we are all suffering from fatigue induced amnesia.
A six percent pay rise would cover last years, and this years 3% increment.
Consider that the monthly hours are unlikely to reduce below 90 for the foreseeable future, and taking into account 2 x 3perc increments and the overtime, a 17 percent pay rise would put us back to where we would have been had our overtime not been stolen, and our pay frozen. No one however would argue that such adjustments were justified at that time, given the scope of the financial crisis.
As far as the bonus goes for many it will be a case of they giveth, then they taketh away, in that the 2 weeks will be used to cover any DEWA liability.
An FOs flying pay is 45dhs/hr, a new grade 2 stewardess is 53dhs/hr, however beware of any pay rises based on flying allowance as it doesn't contribute to any benefits such as provident fund, loss of lic, death cover, and you won't get it while on leave, office duties, ground duties, when sick, and so on
The group is set to make close to 3 billion dihrams this financial year.
We made our sacrifice at a time when it was sensible to do so, now its time to give back what was taken, 6 percent for the increments and our overtime back to where it was before.
