Never will EY accept basings
Ref to the ad, EY will never accept foreign bases, they have told 9W that they have their own pilots who have been demanding this and as such will not acquiesce to this. They will promise anything then deliver on nothing. 9W will not put up a fight with BIG BROTHER SAVIOR for the sake of us bunch of expats especially once they have the local pilots against us. They might promise us the moon but no one will deliver, whether it be both airlines or the recruitment agencies. Regarding the pay increase 9W will never offer TRI/TRE posts and the pay is exactly what has been offered from the beginning, no increase. By the way, the basic salary in EY is less than 9W, it starts at 35,060 AED which is approx 9600 USD, and living expenses are by far higher than Mumbai or Istanbul. EY does not offer any mode of surface transport to or from airport, only during ground school, nor do they pay any allowance to pilots. 3 cabin crew, the CM, CS and F&B Manager make more productivity than the Captain does, their meter runs from reporting time 1hour and 45 minutes before STD whereas pilots go chock to block and at a less rate than those 3. The pilots cannot disembark before the passengers have all disembarked, then the cabin crew conduct their post disembarkation tasks( security checks) then CM will give a debriefing on the aerobridge and all the crew have to pass in a single file through the immigration post, if one is missing none will be allowed to pass through (except the locals) so it will take you more than hour after chocks in to get to your car and if there are 57 wheel chair cases then good luck to you if you make it in one and a half hours, I will not mention precisely how long it took some.
