Any special premium for anybody flying the A380, Capts or FOs, or will it just pay as much as the 777 and 330?

If this is not the case, after the recent success of the pilots from Singapore Airlines couldn't the EK pilots do the same sort of legal action?

Cheers

Gee, a government that looks after it's citizens...You're right, it would never happen in Europe (or Australia!!).

Yes, kind of a tier system where some people are more important than others. They can own property in designated areas, are treated differently in the eyes of the law and favoured in business. I've heard of a system like that before.

Would you complain if YOU were treated better than an immigrant in your country?...I didnt think so!
I wish them well and I wish I was treated the same way in my country...maybe I wouldnt have left in the first place. Just accept it or get an ulcer moaning about it.
Good one about legal action against EK over salary.:rolleyes::rolleyes: How old are you anyway? New to the middle east? and why would you recommend legal action if you dont work here?:ugh::ugh:

The locals in my country get a lot more benefits than I do. I'm not complaining either way, just airing my opinion.

Is that a riddle?....I assume in your country you are a "local" or it wouldnt be your country?

Now. Where do I collect my prize?:cool:

Payscale,

In certain countries (e.g. Australia and New Zealand) there are "Locals" and then there are "Natives".

The "Natives" have quite a few rights the rest of us don't (like they now own Perth!!)

I must be thick! Local, native, national....samesame to me. The point is a country that takes care of its people and has not given in to some misunderstood loyalty to guest workers, is a good country. In my country a national is in many cases put after the immigrants.
That is outright criminal. Thats why I support that the nationals in Dubai get a slightly better deal than me. Fair enough. None of my business

It's the legal and discipline issues not the pay structure that are the most difficult to tolerate.......(they can get paid whatever, it's thier country). But the local that got fired and was reinstated again for the umpteenth time, sorry but that just breeds an attitude that will take you or your colleagues to a bad place with no support from the management.

do the locals get speeding tickets, or just 10x8 framed pictures for the den.

If the 311 was a registered race track I could undertand the racing line taken by many locals as they under/overtake.

I was flashed yesterday by a new portable unit hid under the central median on Beirut road....dirty trick. But it missed the local pasing me on the far side of the cameras view, at M.8.

1st this is off topic ....
2nd local or not he is not te the person to get fire and the reinstated (can u remind us for what he get fired)
why u people (not all of you) want to start some sort of war between locals and the rest of the world
BTW last time i checked UAE still consider 3rd world country .....why u want to leave Europe and work for 3rd world county ...did u do u homework before singing the dotted line ( or may be they made u to sing)
remember local didn't complain when some people in the same grade got paid more because of ERP
(and BTW pension is Federal program its nothing to do with emirates.. government pay for it )
guys this is not Europe so same standers not apply if u like Europe you know what am going to say and i know that u don't like that......

"I must be thick! Local, native, national....samesame to me. "

well maybe not so Payscale,

In Canada we can be a citizen, Canadian born, from Canadian parents, also born there, as were their parents, hold a full Canadian passport, even say eh, and love hockey,
but... a "native" is considered to have more and different rights, as they are considered to have a higher level of heritage than we who are also fully Canadian.
So, while I am definitely considered a "local" I am not a "native".

Does not Australia make this same distinction, but instead of first nations they call them aborigines?

Grow up.

Here is the best financial advice. EK salaries have shown a downward trend for the past 7 years against most major currencies. Its a lemon. Sell out and put your money elsewhere! This market is a sinking ship.
