Did I hear you say 6% and 2 weeks????????????
Are you serious? We had record profits and you're talking about being happy with 6% and 2 weeks. WOW!!! No wonder management choose to treat us like slaves. Guys like you are settling for crap.
We deserve a lot more than that. Try 15% for starters on our base salary. Bonus? Nothing less than 6 weeks. 8 weeks would be ideal. At least that's what it should be. Remember, we had 3 billion dhs in profit. Most companies are happy to turn a profit of a buck. And schedules/overtime, don't get me started. I think we all know what needs to happen there. The threshold/target is an absolute nightmare. I have bad dreams even thinking about it. Assuming I can even get some sleep. With rosters like this, it's hard to come by.
If things don't change, and the package doesn't get better.... interesting times are in the near future. Dubai and the Emirates brand does not hold the same respect it use to amongst aviation professionals. Reputation alone will not attract new pilots like it use to.
The word is out....
