jetII,
If you have been in the industry for awhile, you will know of downs and highs. Right now the industry is skyrocketing, specially in the U.S., China and elsewhere. Some places not so much. But EK has publicaly said it will report its highest profits in its almost 30 years of its existence. Will our "temporary" 92 hours reduce? NO Will overtime (productivity) be allowed? NO Will al pilots be awarded their contracted 42 days of leave? NO Will pilots get monthly credit for ground schools, sim sessions, or any required CBT? NO Do I need to continue? NO Except to say, compensation was not mentioned by this poster. We will know in a week or two whether or not EK is serious about IT'S commitment towards the employees
When the industry has been down, the EK siren song was enticing. Not so much now when looking at industry profit shares, pay rises, etc. Take a look at a legacy U.S. wide body international pilot's schedule/roster. You would be shocked at what an EK pilot's roster would look like in comparison.
EK prides itself in being an industry leader, but refuses to acknowledge the contributions all of its employees, except for a few meaningless emails.
