So lets sum up some of the wonderful changes that have been dumped on us within the last 12 months.

0% pay rise, the 3% is contractual if they know what that means, hence another pay cut. Inflation rising at greater than 3%.

The threat of being evicted at a moments notice to prison Meydan.

The farce of the special tickets, sold at higher prices and almost totally unavailable.

Crew catering, now getting 1 meal on a 10Hr duty day ( fancy breakfast at 2pm not), many ASR's appearing about this.

Certain long haul flights now cut to 3 crew instead of 4.

It's just been a year of take take take, one wonders if EK has past its peak, and has now started the downwards slide like so many other major carriers of yore, one only has to look across the water to Bahrain and Gulf Air.

If things are like this for us what has been offered to others like Cabin Crew, Ground Staff etc.

How many CC who took unpaid leave will actually come back, and when the runway works are completed what sort of mess is going to be left when things ramp up again.

On the upside I've been given a cheap looking flight bag, so mustn't grumble too much, as it justifies TCAS position within the company.

This thread needs to be kept alive and kicking, as it's only when they get kicked in the wallet with lack of crew all round will their arrogance come back and bite them in the
