Bymonek thanks for joining in with Harry. Like minds think alike!
I know you haven't experienced a great contract or work rules either but when I have 7 days leave assigned in a month I still fly 92 hours a month a very near the amount. Tell how I get paid for vacation? If I actually got paid for my vacation time I would get credit for those 7 days and "only" fly somewhere around 75 hours that month.
Same concept for sick time. When a Emirates pilot calls in sick the company assignees another trip in its place. If we had proper sick time we would get credit for that sick trip. Are you still with us Bymek and Harry?
Again what did I post that is not completely factual? Just because you don't agree with what I post or don't understand it doesn't make it false or negative.
Your comment about upgrades always being 3-4 years at Emirates is totally ignorant. A pilot joining today has to go through 3750 pilots before given an upgrade. Even with mass resignations it will take 6-8 years to upgrade if you join now.
