The Emirates forum is for EK staff only habibi.
Annual leave - do you get it?
Staff travel - does it work?
Do you have a roster request system?
Do you have a day off request system?
Are your lay overs like everyone else's 24 hrs?
How many hours do you guys do in a month?
Duabai? I have been there many times, but what is it like to live there?
Annual leave- Well they "try" and give you the legal minimum of 30 days. I only got 29 days allocated so far. No peak leave this year, though I did get it last year.
Staff Travel is OK. On busy routes to Australia and NZ it can be more problematic I believe. No jumpseats allowed.
Roster and days off are part of the bidding system. Depends on the fleet you are on and what bid priority you have. The company operates a rotating bidding system, so everyone gets a reasonable shot a what they want, through the 5 bidding groups.
Layovers depend on what the route is and the frequency operated. Sectors over 15 hours are 48 hour layovers, mostly.
Most Captains are doing 90+/month and F/Os a bit less, though this does vary by fleet.
