Pretty poor mgt here. Throw it out there - no luck, a few weeks later try something different. Looks very amateurish - buy hey we know that.
With these contracts there has to be one big sweetener;
At KAL it's the time off pos J travel, not the money.
With HNA - it's the cash.
With CSA it's the home basings
With EK it's....eh, errr, a little bit here, a little something there that hasn't caught many people's attention.
etc etc.
What's clear by the second offer is they need more guys to do this - those who have the ear of ACP ME - continue let him know it's not enough.
Pos space travel back to DXB (Y upgradeable on the highest possible STBY priority -if need be). Stressing over FABS in your last three days of 13 about whether you get an upgrade is a different proposition than wondering will you get on.
12 mos loss of medical coverage - this is a key point. I know many who have been down and out for between 5-12 mos now back on line thankfully. We all have families to feed, not just pax crew. With these hours year in year out - medical issues will increase. Do not undersell your livelihood - that extra six months is crucial.
