Believe Brother, thanks for your reply, although my question was why do expats get a lower increase (15%) as opposed to nationals getting 25%.
ekpilot, the less you have the more attached you become to it
.
Oh well, for you who love flying you could always be grateful you got the job you want/love and for those who don't you can always be grateful that you have a job at these times (as opposed to me for instance... oh wait, I still didn't graduate
).
Cheer up everyone

I was hoping that the increase on the TRIPS page was a precursor to a pay raise but after the locals meeting went the way it did I should pull my head out of my ass and realize that nothing is EVER going to change here in the sand. With my amount now about 25,871 that would be about a 22% pay raise for me and I actually got exicted last night that conditions would improve. I am a dumb ass. I need to put out the applications and start looking around. EK is just so arrogrant. This use to be a very good job (and still is for the 3rd world) but with Europe paying more and more now that is the place to be. We will always be treated no bettter that an Indian to mangement and it is time we start going to greener pastures. I have had it.

LHR Rain. I have a rule for myself which I try to stick to. "Never post after consuming one too many red wines!" I appreciate the sentiment but don't get mad, get even.
Enjoy your hangover buddy!!

Oh dear Lads, the DDS amount on Trips has nothing to do with your salary. It's just the limit of how much you can book up when applying for tickets. Obviously one cannot get on trips and book up 50,000 dhs of tickets. There is a limit, and it is your current salary plus whatever. Looks like 25% above and beyond that you can book up. Dont make the mistake and think that is now your NEW SALARY. It aint and far from it. !!!!!

No one (UAE national included) should expect any special government salary increase as EK group is not a government department.
Only hope that good news come out on 27th April Chairman's briefing.

If its not a government airline then whose is it , you would think the government would be proud to own such an airline, obviously they dont care about it , just like most of the staff in it.....

answer to guybrush's question
DEFINITION OF RACISM
Any attitude, action or institutional structure which systematically treats an individual or group of individuals differently because of their race. Racism may be expressed individually and consciously, through explicit thoughts, feelings, or acts, or socially and unconsciously, through institutions that promote inequality between races.
the outcome of the meeting with local pilots appeared to be pathetic and reflects the abysmal human quality of EK managers. one thing however shines out positively: they're not racists, they treat all employees the same despicable way.

Government vs Private
I believe that it was the Sheikh himself that supported the 15-25% pay increases in Dubai for government employees...
So when it comes to his own company it is a case of do as I say, NOT as I do.

As far as trips goes, we are paying for seats on our own airline which would otherwise be empty. While I accept that staff travel is a privlidge not a right, it is in the company's own interest to let us spend as much as possible on trips. After all, it is not as if we can refuse to pay when the bill comes in- the money comes out of our pay before we get it!

Emirates Belongs to the Dubai Government.
Okay folks.
Go down to your local Emaar Petrol station and peruse through a copy of the "arabian business" magazine. You cannot miss this particular issue because our Chairman is on the cover. Emirates as a group is considering an IPO. To raise money for more aircraft, basically. And I qoute:
"H.H Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said proposals for an initial public offering(IPO) had already been submitted to the Dubai Government, which owns the airline.
"We have one new aircraft coming every month for the next five to six years and that takes a lot of financing. Whether we do an IPO is a decision for the government. We are always thinking about it but we haven't taken a firm decision. It's something we have looked at but I am waiting for the owner to make any final decision," he added. End Quote.
