By applying the 6% to EACH step (this is unprecedented at EK) instead of as a pay increase to the base,
the gap between each step and the next one is now greater by 3% and the corresponding amount.
The gulf widens, eh? Your hungry FO with three kids and a high-maintenance, Jumeirah Jane wife will really enjoy that.
What a great CRM tactic.
By increasing the overtime rate and callout pay, they pay nothing whilst
appearing to give us an increase.
"Smoke And Mirrors" That should EK's motto...
Adjusting the salary by 6% is a shallow attempt to make you think they've given back the 3% they "promised" but did not deliver last year - plus this year's 3%. They'll mention that in propaganda in a few years from now - to the new-joiners who fail to recognise lies and bull**** when they hear it.

Maybe you should
increase your performance then, pen-pusher!
If you're envious of pilots, go get yourself an ATPL and seven or eight thousand hours and come back for "the good life" and moan on a pilots' website.
Enjoy your weekend while the special cases are off flying.
