Emirates Rosters
Mr8 you r correct , those greedy bastrds work there arses off at the expense of the whole pilot body , well never get good rosters at this rate.
Lifestyle is not a requirement for a slave .
If we got paid properly we wouldnt need overtime.
Anyway whats the point of being the richest dude in the cemetary or being buried in a golden casket .
We should all stick together on this but that would be industrial action wouldnt it............

Well, it's the closest to a call for ''down tools" as I have heard...
Not one item on my roster that I bid for either. More to the point, since the 'month of reserve duty' was implemented, why are we getting AD days at all?

Come on guy's this is getting ridiculous, instead of blocking all our inboxes with swap requests, lets send them to our Chief Pilot to sort out. That will give him something to do. Has anyone actually had anything resembling what you bid for? This system is not working!

you're simply on the wrong thread mate.
to all of you who think ek pilots are ungratefull, having a superb
job, hugely paid, and that bitching about rostering is luxury:
if one bids for a flight or, more importantly, days off and one does not get it - fair enough if there would be a serious reason to it. but if someone else gets this flight, or days off when he'd rather work or fly elsewhere and this specific someone placed his bidding accordingly - something is desperately wrong! either there is a scary level of incompetence, which cost the company a load of money and the employees and their families a lot of nerves, or there is a plan behind it all.

Sorry that you have to deal with 110 hrs a month flying in Afirica, but we all have to get some experience under our belts before moving on to the next phase.
Before you start to slag me, I also have been where you are now, and I can say that every ex-pat at Emirates also has been there.
If you do not want (need) to work for the present co., then now is the time to move on to somewhere else.
Things are starting to look better for pilots as a group.
Companies are getting A/C and need warm bodies to fill them.
Your time will come, and I for one hope that it does, as that will bode well for us all.
Qatar has already found that it is very difficult to recruit pilots to the MidEast, and EK also has the same problem.
Jobs are opening up thru out the industry.
So enough about how bad things are in Africa, we know that.
Get on with your career.
Either there or elsewhere
Do not complain about how bad things are on this site.
I for one have been there, and don't care to listen to more wineing (whinging)!
Good luck

what is the point
Another month of wasted time bidding, the roster swap group gets busier every month it’s the only good thing about the rostering and EK had nothing to do with it.
Have leave, so no days off before and the one legal day off after. 98 hrs under the old credit system but none under the new system.
O well at least I can go on the 10th and be told how good it is!!!!!

What Scheduling System DOES EK Use??
Hi All,
This one's a 'sitter'...
If ANYONE knows what 'system' EK uses for crew scheduling then please let the rest of us mere mortals know.
From what I've seen/experienced/suffered in my time here the answer would have to be a barely capable computer-based bidding system whose output is so f*@ked with afterwards by people with no understanding or interest as to be barely recognisable as an AdOpt roster.
This roster, of steadily deteriorating quality, is then 'endorsed' by a spineless and sycophantic Flt Ops (mis)management team. Am torn between staying away on the 10th and not getting any satisfactory answers or going along and NOT GETTING ANY SATISFACTORY ANSWERS!!!
Rant Over And Out

Hey "The Real Pink Baron" EK is not like the good old easy money days at DHL and The Airwing!
Was your Hash name given to you for sailing too close to the wind or for something else?

Bidding system is for the company
Bidding System For the company not for pilots. Its plain to see really. All AB CA Rostered over 90 hrs and min days off (9) for september with no open trips.
No rostering system in the world can give any kind of choice under those conditions!!
Time to do some hiring! I hear its going to get worse before it gets better.
