Do what you say you will do
It's a simple truth of good management. I was trained in many management skills befors becoming a pilot. The lack of manpower management skills displayed by SOME managers here is shoking (not all at EK are bad). It's just good manners at the least.
If you say "rosters will be published 1 week before the end of the month" then do so.
If it can't be done. Tell us why and change the rule. Our contracts Terms and Conditions change so much, we are ready for change!
I have to agree with the posts above. If your life is SO DULL that you don't need any time to plan it, congratulations you have acheived nirvana. The rest of us don't live to work.... WE WORK TO LIVE.

Most people do more with theirs lives than just get pissed & go to work. Although some pilots give that impression, especially those caught drunk at security.
There is no excuse for "last minute tweaking"
Issue the bloddy rosters. We all know there will still be be open time and sickness, no matter how manny pilots we have.....
HENCE WE HAVE RESERVE...

At the risk of inviting the wrath of all the soothsayers, the rosters were issued on time this month. Well done to those involved. One hopes that this will continue and, why not, be improved upon.

What gives, top bid group but only a couple of flights, the rest of the days are marked as 'rest'. I thought 'rest' was what you were given before a late night departure, not as a filler for the roster. What are they up to?
Sorry belay my last, glitch in system, crew control says problem nearly sorted but for rest change to flights, now got lots of flights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'll keep the hand-clapping to myself. One roster on time in 3 years... That sounds more like a glitch of some kind. Like that month not too long ago when rostering accidentally published rosters before they were finished...
Besides, 2nd top and 2 AD days "post publication" isn't really what I would call a winner....
The key to splendor is consistency. I'll clap if they can keep it up for more than a quarter. Not very likely...

Yeah and I got ADs 'post publication' it says on the printed roster. WTF?
Anyone else got this? Guess someone has taken a flight away, Days off would have been too much to ask for.
Must be the heat.

L1011. Check the FOM, its says the rosters shall be published 7 days before the end of the month, so different dates on a 28, 30 and 31 day month. They were out on time, for once, though with cock ups on 'em!!

Bancrupt... hmmm, have you bought too many aircraft?
Would be a nice one on your payslip: Capt, we'll appreciate you work with us and we let you participate in our success, therefore you'll get instead of money shares in our fleet and B777-303, A6-xxx is partly YOUR ship!
Paycheck will be back after fleet expansion was finished.
Thank you for your participation in our company loyalty program.
We appreciate your loyalty! EK

The rosters could be accessed today, but some fine tuning was still being carried out. The guys in the CBC have been told not to show us the rosters as some planks had started complaining about the rosters before they were even printed.................................dorks.
They are supposed to be out by end of play today 25th..............they weren't when I went to the CBC and they still are not out on the protal now.............typical!!!!

Here we go again guys where are the rosters???? It's the 25th already for God sake....
Are the paper copies for the AB at the CBC? but again that doesn't help the guys who are on the road.... Nothing on the Portal as of today.
And who is that idiot who ruined it for everyone else by complaining about his final roster after some changes made it from when he saw it at the CBC?

roster/portal
Hi all.
Its 8.10 am on the 26th and i have just tried to view my festering roster on the company portal.
GUESS WHAT ???
I cannot even get into the portal.
Each time i try and log on its incredibly slow and once i have gone through the hoops it spits out some message to do with server exchange etc etc.
I know everyone is thinking that i am computor illiterate but i have had this recently when trying to do things on the HR direct part and it was problematic.I called up the relevant dep who admitted there "was a problem with the system".
Rant over ,off to my do medical.
Nurse to patient.
"Why is your blood pressure up?"

"I work for Emirates"

Boris,
you're right. The system was acting up like you said but it's working fine now. I had similar issues with it too.
Hope you got what you bid for, but I can bet you didn't as it's getting to be the norm these days
