It is the arrogance of the management that is most telling. Talking or I should say lecturing us like we are stupid.
"We didn't get close to the target.". Well actually we reached target in Dec and we passed it by a long shot you just decided or were ordered to give 1 billion dhs to your bosses. That was about a 33% payment on the profits thank you very much.
"Our next year target is vey attainable.". Well even if we do have a good year (how can we not with our labor costs) you will give OUR profits to Dubai again and screw us for the 4th year in a row on the bonus or profit share.
I agree that a pissed off pilot IN the cockpit is much more dangerous than one that leaves the company. However a far too high percentage of the pilots here come from absolutely crap airlines and do not think EK is that bad. Makes you wonder what they put up with before. Do you think the Canadians are going to do anything drastic? Don't even mention the South Africans. They can cut our pay 50% and they ain't leaving and will still be happy. We are not even going to talk about the 3rd world pilots.
As long as Emirates keeps hiring from the dregs of the industry the company will keep on shafting like they did this week until something or someone hurts them where in counts. In the pocketbook. Don't count on it though, just look around at your colleagues.
