Falcon driver, I am very glad your short time in the sand has been good to you. But, alas, some of us have had our conditions of service reduced to those same ones you were happy to sign up to.
When we joined, the company paid for all the utilities, just like it said it would in our contract. When we joined we got paid a min of 3.5hrs for any day at work, including reserve, sims, SEP or any ground schools. We were also paid 2.5hrs for every day of leave. We were paid productivity pay when we worked overtime. The school fee allowance paid for a min of 90% of the school fees.
So yes we may be a bit miffed to see life style and earning capacity continually eroded. If only we to had your low expectations, and were more willing to to go with the flow, or as you rightly say, "swim with the current", and smile as the company steals from us.
In fact most of us now are making Aed 8400 per month less than we were 6 months before you joined. That hurts. And it is upsetting when you see the same company make record profits at the same time as stealing off its employees.
Perhaps if they returned us to our original conditions, and left you with your conditions we all could be happy.
The Don
