Fillion we see you are ready to be a middle eastern manager with the attitude you have. If you don't like it leave. What a great style of management. Are you an oppressor or come from an oppressed country? Try doing that crap in Europe and see how far it gets you.
What the EK pilots have to realize is yes 12 weeks is good, if that is what we were owed. However we were owed much more as the target and profit show. Just because you "thought" we would get less is a testement to your Stockholm Syndrome. There is a formula that the company is suppose to follow with regards to the profit share. It is straight foward.
As I wrote earlier no one would be happy with only getting 60% of their May paycheck. After all our salaries are considerably higher than many 3rd world pilots paychecks but just because we make more than them I would still not want to get paid 60% of what I am owed.
Honour the contract which is a very hard thing to do in this part of the world.
