When are the ek rosters supposed to come out again?

[Divertnow]

I probably missed the email explaining it all in great detail but when do the rosters get published these days? Is it not supposed to be the 16th?

[what_goes_up]

It's still the 24th or 25th. They only try to release earlier....

[Divertnow]

Really? Is that official because if so that's pathetic! It's been released on the 16th and 18th in the past therefore it can be done. If it's been done twice it can be done always.

[ruserious]

I believe it will be the 18th, but who knows

[Starbear]

Really? Are you guys actually saying that you don't get to know what you're doing on the 01st of a month until 7 days before?

If so that is incredibly archaic in this century. I know you have many many other problems from browsing this site but confess that I hadn't picked up on that one. Even those other bloodsuckers at CX manage it by the 15th which I thought was more typical.

[pfvspnf]

15th is excellent , most places I know of are 18-24th. Except those lucky folks who get their rosters 2 or 3 months at a time. There are places where people don't know what they are doing till the 30th!

[glofish]

The last two months, rosters on the 18th, were actually an improvement!! Thanks for that, it's appreciated.
Let's see if they can uphold it.

[sluggums]

The 15th is not excellent. It's very average. I can only presume from your other posts that you've been drinking cool aid during the cruise phase.

[lospilotos]

Actually last month it came already on the 16th...

[Calmcavok]

Well my roster must be pretty much ready as I'm getting emails for offline freighters (that I didn't bid for).

[troff]

One nameless carrier I worked for years ago offered their January schedule… on NYE! Three months later we were all in the unemployment line.

[Calmcavok]

Oooh. Maybe you've got 13 days off too!

Baahahahaha! Think I'll have an aneurism if I have a contract adjustment letter attached to my roster!

Needless to say 13+ days off on its own merits would be fine.

[delorean79]

Rosters now in iCrew

[FL3]

Rosters now in iCrew

If only iScrew could open...

[gardenshed]

They are on the portal now.
Truely amazed that the only ULR/LH trips I bid for were SFO and IAD transpires into MEL-AKL-MEL. And Top Bid month as well.
Quick bit of maths and it is basic, reckons about 16 pilots a month ( on average) left the company between Jan16 and Feb 17. With the current :mad: state of rostering I cannot see how this sorry state of affairs can be averted.
EK management seem to be content to play the fiddle like Nero, whilst the Airline burns.

[natops]

2nd top, nothing.

Thanks again...

[motley flight crue]

Gardenshed, at least Nero was an emperor, our managers think they are. Probably be like Caligula if they were !!!!

[felixthecat]

380 roster sounds sweet compared to the tractor A6-EEU (nothing like mine :( )

[Laker]

That's scary that 13 days off and 87 hours is now considered good.

[Jetkopite]

I have 12 days leave plus 2 days either side and still they managed to squeeze 86 hrs in the rest of the month... W@NK3rS !!!!!

[flyaway777]

I find it strange; we get hired to fly airplanes here. Then EK asks us to fly airplanes. Then we get upset that they've asked us to fly airplanes.

Perhaps oversimplifying things a bit there don't you think? You seem to be content with your employer rostering someone to fly 86 hours in a month containing 12 days leave. I think most people would find THAT strange.

[Praise Jebus]

EEU you might have come here to fly airplanes but I'm pretty sure all the rest of us came here for work that complimented and supported our life and the life we planned to share with family and friends. If all you want to do is fly airplanes then congratulations you won...

[5star]

380 troll. u must be a nice fella in the flightdeck. One good thing is : at least i don' t have to fly with u...
i hear from our CC that there are indeed a few 'super' special guys on your fleet....
Guys, don't count on any sympathy in this part of the world. Just look at the lot in the BC...When have they ever done anything to ease the pain...
Same here btw : 10 days leave and got my 85plus hours on the tractor to sweeten the deal...I don't see any light at the end of my tunnel so the only way out is...out. thanks for the gentle reminder EEU...

[aussiefarmer]

Is it me or lately there have been a few suspicious trolls in the forum? - we all know how good certain company is at PR - I'm afraid from the bouncy castle someone has decided to join the discussion forum around here! :=

From the marvellous lifestyle of 85 hours in 18 days to the one talking about the wonders of the new freighter deal... seriously?

[Jetkopite]

I find it strange; we get hired to fly airplanes here. Then EK asks us to fly airplanes. Then we get upset that they've asked us to fly airplanes.

EK isn't wonderful (work isn't) But working/flying for them is what I came here to do. I cannot fault them for asking me to fly. And frankly, I find it much easier and tolerable to be positive rather than negative.

I don't HAVE to be here, I choose to be here. When I no longer wish to be, I'll quit, but I promise I won't try to poison others with my misery.

Please can you translate that in English??:ugh:

If doing 86 hours in 16 days with half the month on leave is acceptable to you just because you came to fly GOOD luck to you hero...
Personally I am here to work to live NOT the other way around... I am not living ONLY working hence my decision to bail out like many others are very soon so you fill your boots with all the flying you want :ok:

[felixthecat]

A6-EEU please tell me that you seriously don't think its acceptable to be flying 86 hours with 12 days of leave in the month? The productivity is 88 for May I believe so that poor soul has saved 2 hours flying from a full month for 12 days of leave.

If you find that acceptable then you are going to be labelled a troll and for good reason.

There are good and bad, but that is not one of the good points.

[north flyer]

Yay for A6EEH, bet he still cannot believe that they pay him "so" much money to fly such a big, big airplane.

[natops]

A6-EEU,

13 years of which 10 in the office I can imagine, and indeed retiring after 20 years...

Do you wear one if those white dresses maybe?

[pumpkin]

Are you referring to me? I've been at EK for 13 years and will probably stay another 7 years before I call it quits.

..yeah and join date to pprune Jan 2017.. I smell a troll.

[anson harris]

Those trips alone would be a full months work in most LH airlines, without any leave.

[felixthecat]

No sorry you are more than carrying your weight with 86 with 12 days of leave in the month.

You are trolling...

[Alloy]

I'm glad I do nothing like the hours EEU claims and have a life by not slaving for EK. The hours are just one of the many reasons why EK does not interest me.

With EK announcing they are ditching seven of their twelve USA routes today and reducing frequencies on the remaining five, I hope for your health and lifestyle sakes it has a positive affect on all of you with EK.

[fatbus]

13 year ago, G4 . Trying to picture who that was? G4 way under the weight limit back then. 1000 hr a year on a G4 ? Hmmmmm!

[natops]

A6EEU

TROLL

[nolimitholdem]

hahah! 1000 hrs on a G4!

fatbus has so outed you. Sorry A6EEU, you have zero credibility. Even if what you say is true - max hours on a bizjet, managed to get hired without the quals - it only proves that your argument is ****e: "well at least EK is marginally better than my previous, TRULY deplorable outfit".

Textbook troll.

You'll have to do far better to circumvent the bs detectors of the posters on this forum. They've had far more experience honing them than you'll ever be able to comprehend.

[lospilotos]

I think you got that a bit wrong I'm afraid. EK is not ditching any routes. SEA/BOS/LAX going from double daily to one daily. MCO/FLL going from daily to five a week.

[natops]

A6eeu on the tractor hahaha

But then he needs to change his nickname to a 777 tailnbr.

But as a troll thats what he is doing any right, changing names.

It would be my pleasure to go to the B777 if that's where the company needed me.

Two choices here my friends: Stay or go. If we stay, we cooperate, including switching fleets if that's what the company needs from us. If we go, then we are on our own. The choice is ours.

The Co. "needed" 330 Captains to to go as FOs on the 380.

So you it would be your "pleasure" to cooperate with a downgrade to another fleet, correct?

[A6EchoEchoUniform]

Yes. I wouldn't be happy with it, but I work for my employer, and therefore do what they ask. If I wish not to, then I'd simply resign.

[fliion]

But you said two posts ago that it "would be my pleasure" to go where Co needed you

Make your mind up FFS

[Big Enos Burdette]

Sounds like a line from an episode of Downton Abbey.
Standing there, cap in hand, tugging your forelock in the presence of the Lord of the Manor.

[felixthecat]

Maybe you can go back to the G4, plenty of experience there ;)

At the moment, I enjoy the Dubai lifestyle and the reduced tax liability in the USA. If that changes, then I'd go back to the USA for a job.

[felixthecat]

No lifestyle here now, not with 86 hours with 12 days leave in a month ;)

[natops]

Join the recruitment team happy camper 💪🏻

[sluggums]

What a troll A6-EEU is... Bless...

[felixthecat]

A6EEU = My January A380 Command roster is at 104 hours over 21 days.

That was from January 2017, yet he has been here 13 years. Surely thats not him just doing his command.....

[moneyhoon]

And who honestly writes ....'my A380 COMMAND roster' .....🙄 I mean seriously 😂

EEU,

Did you ever spend time in Waco Texas in the company of David Koresh?

C'mon, tell us... you're really one of Rev. Jimmy Jones boys who mistakenly drank "Tang" that day long ago?

You sound a little like the twin girls from "The Shining"..."come play with us for ever and ever".

Either way may I suggest a saliva test? Its more for your benefit than ours.
