They need to give a decent pay rise- around 10%

In the last 2 years we have been "granted" 3% , this as many will remember is the contracted step but now appears to be discretionary.

So with the headline inflation rate at 15%+ that means in real purchasing terms EK has forced us to take a 24% pay cut. "Thank you so much!"

Sadly with inflation running at conservatively 15%+ a 10% raise in basic pay will still leave us way behind the curve.

The recent survey results are yet to be published and I strongly suspect they never will see the light of day.

I have always tried to be objective in my observations and criticisms, getting one's blood pressure up achieves nothing, but the current situation is a spectacular train wreck in the making.

Flights are being cancelled, so the slow motion crumpling of the engine has begun.

An airline without crews is an aircraft storage company nothing more.

In short, to original poster, stay where you are.
