This is what I've heard about EK
90+ hours per month and increasing with no change in salary/benefits.
Short layovers, pretty much staying on minimum rest/ flying back next day
4 years of RHS and still no hint of upgrading.
Can anyone confirm that?
Confirmed.
How are rosters looking over in DXB? I am pretty much working 5 on, 3 off at the moment with around 80 hours a month (all 4 sector days).
Could I expect the same with EK? Are they random or fixed?
I hate to join the chorus having a go at you, but how could you possibly think flying for a long haul international airline could have the same work pattern as doing short haul flying? We have 9 day trips, so it's hardly possible to have a 5 on roster, is it?
We fly 1 or 2 sector days, but some of those sectors are 14 hrs long.
FOs currently doing in excess of 90 hours. It is recognized that this needs to change, but it won't be for at least a few years if ever.
