pay review

So heres a thought...imagine that even though we didn't make the target this year for profit share, they gave us three weeks to keep us sweet during the runway closure time.. Imagine also that they are delaying the pay review until the runway opens to keep us all working hard. Let us finally imagine that once the runway opens, they send us a message to say there is no pay rise, but thanks for your hard work....Imagine that!

As a few have already said, what company has already closed its 2013-14 financial year, posted a target and don't know what they will pay their employees....they already know and we would be foolish to think otherwise. We are going to get a big fat zero. The runway closure is the only thing on their scope right now. They have half the cabin crew missing on unpaid leave. Imagine if you will again, yet another insulting pay rise for them. Half of them wouldn't come back. The other half would come back to pick up their clothes, kiss the Leb boyfriend goodbye and depart. They know that any disruption whilst the runway fixing is going on would be disastrous. is it me though, or has the operation actually been running smoother? i haven't had any delays, push off stand normally and perhaps one or two times in the hold for 10 mins and back home I go? Maybe I am not doing the other flights?

We all said to a man, that we would never get a bonus again.....i have no clue anymore what they are playing at. just look at your seniority list to see whats happening. two steps forward and one step back. The attrition rate is picking up, that you can't hide. But despite all our rants and posts on here, people still are joining. Is it really that bad outside EK? TC said that everybody wants to work for EK...are they just kidding themselves? TBH I just can't be arsed anymore. I go to work, come home and switch off. Jeez does that mean I am now institutionalised?? I went to the China Southern roadshow along with the other 70 or so guys. It wasn't for me thats for sure. I now have an EASA licence...but work for Ryanair....no way. I don't think we can avoid , as an expat, another expat job...but where to go..

anyways back tot the question "wheres my money"

there ain't none and don't live in hope!
