When I interviewed many moon ago....
TWC
When I interviewed many moons ago someone did ask about the minimum 8 days off a month written in the OMA. This was the response.
"Well, yes it is written there solely because Emirates needs to be able to act swiftly to pick up canceled orders of aircraft from other carriers. Right now our pilots are enjoying between 14-18 days off a month. We have been in business a long time and we have never seen a roster with 8 days off. 8 days off would be under exceptional circumstances and very temporary."
I now believe "Exceptional Profits" = "Exceptional Circumstances."
There was also 10 minutes dedicated to the amazing profit share program.
"It' like a 25% pay raise!" Still waiting for that little gem......
P.S The past two years has been mostly 8 days off.
I also believe any new hire will only go to expansion not relief in our unrealistic schedules.
