I will be very surprised indeed if the rostering rules are published, after all knowledge is power.
Without doubt EK is nowhere near the airline that I elected to join 9 years ago. The word I think that is more appropriate now would be "Serve".
I believe it is now verging on a feudal system. IF the 3 days off rule is implemented then we will become defacto inmates in an open prison. That may sound like an over reaction, however, without the option to "bang out for a few days" then our freedom of movement is truly restricted.
I suspect that the max 3 off could be a scarer, so when it comes out as 4 off max we will all go "well that's not so bad!".
All the same it still stinks!
