EK: how many days off do you have in April?

[Desdihold]

Simple question,

Try to exclude leave, ground duties and rest days.

Only count days that actually appear as "day off" on your roster.

--------------
I have received 9 days,
One block of three days, the remainder is a block of two days and single days here and there.

Is this the new normal ?

[BigGeordie]

It has been "normal" on the 330/340 for years. Hello Tomorrow!

[Mach_Krit]

10 days...spread as desdihold puts it.

[Peter Chube]

[fatbus]

[White Knight]

[Calmcavok]

Why bold & underlined? Angry? I can read it without the cack formatting.

13 days off.

[Desdihold]

There is no hidden agenda behind the bold and underlined text of my first post, it seems to be because of the hotel business centre computer.

A cigar is sometimes just a cigar.

[Pilot_Recruit]

13 and second top bid.

[thrustidle74]

Can't complain, 6 days off, 19 days leave, top bid.
Very unstable, recently I had 92hrs plus RTGS, plus SIM, 8 days off scattered all over the place.

[alwayzinit]

[CAYNINE]

13 x, 2 rest, 1 SBU, 87hrs

[gehenna]

Have 30 days off; Oh, just remembered that I left EK in January!

No more waste of time bidding to get little of what you ask for, do what you want when you want, and I have management that cares (aka the Mrs).

No more sub-continent in the night and no more fools to answer to - nirvana!

[JammedStab]

My usual 20 days off in a row after working for 6 weeks.....

But I work in the far east. Would love to work at Emirates if only I could get the same.

First class ticket home.

Perhaps EK needs two options for pilots. The second being a lower payscale for a commuting pilot.

[SOPS]

When I post on here now, i get hate mail.

Permanent days off, and enjoying every day. Tommorows roster, wake up at 8, takes dogs to beach at 10, go home by 12, think about what to do next.

Like McDodalds....I'm loving it.

[SOPS]

Forgot to add..driving a great new car...life is good.

[shakealeg]

Forgot to add..driving a great new car...life is good.

Just a matter of interest, and no hate mail here, if life is so good and rewarding why are you still posting on this site. Surely staring at the sunset from the beach surrounded by dogs should be enough. Sounds good enough to me. I would cut my ek ties completely.

[Mister Warning]

Not sure about April, but only worked 3 days in March.
Ex EK obviously.
:ok:

[Outatowner]

It's called 'therapy', Shake, this place needs to be purged from the system. He'll move along eventually. In the meantime it's good to hear from someone who's out and only looking back to let the rest know things are better elsewhere.
