The UAE could face a mass exodus of expatriates if the government follows up the introduction of value added tax (VAT) next year with further taxes on the population.

The truth of the matter is that inflation is a real issue as are rental rates in the UAE. The Airline has to step up to reality in order to accomplish it's expansion plans.
It is a simple formula, keep your people relatively happy in order to get your buisness plans on track. If not the market will bite you in the back side. Today it's a bullish market and guys can find jobs, keep us happy otherwise we will vote with our feet.

all I can say is wow..
I have been working for a Gulf Airline since 2002.. ( north of AUH and south of BAH) and I hear and see alot of crap.. but one thing is for sure.. EY is sounding much, much worse than this mob ( North of AUH and south of BAH ).. although some major problems here as well.. but after reading this thread it does not sound half as bad as EY.. might be wrong but i think i'll give EY a pass as the interview is done and the no poaching thing seems to be on the back burner.. they are happy to take from anywhere it seems and i guess thats as good as a canary in a coal mine.
Good Luck.

EY does has major problems that are not addressed by our current management, they have thrown a little corn out recently to try and keep the crews quiet but when you look closely the only issues that have been addressed are those which also affect them (ie Schooling/housing!).
They are quite happy with their own inflated salary so they looked upon a crew salary increase as a low priority...all this BS that was spouted by the finance guy at the roadshow is utter crap.
Give the crews an increment that keeps up with inflation instead of the rubbish you came up with...stop treating us like idiots.

I think the only ones who moved from EK to EY were those that failed their upgrade. I remember many that didn't make it through the EK interview went up to EY for the job. Worked out well for a quick upgrade...
Accomodation is a real problem in the entire region and airlines need to make it priority one. Those coming over should be very specific about what is offered...

huuuu? When did this happen Alghazal? I went to the airport and got into the car park with my card as usual, only difference is that they force us now to go in from the rental car/employees entrance but it's still free.
Please elaborate if you know something we dont, please dont tell me they stooped that low.

. Read the email again. You will only get slugged if you leave your car there more than 9 days.

Have any of you received emails from Emirates? Two friends of mine have received offers to interview in the last week. Should I update my application at Dubai? BTW its a rhetorical question, but maybe I should have made a different choice. Maybe if the package improves it wont be an issue.

Sandpit I think it's a rather harsh accusation you make there against Al Ghazal. If you go back and read the email, point number four talks about an annual renewal fee. In a previous email EY said they would refund this. No mention of it here. Also for a new joiner who never recieved the previous email, would interpret it as us having to pay for parking. So technically Al Ghazal has a point.

You think I am going to pay for parking? Not a f---ing chance!! They are supposed to provide transport but have weaseled out of that, and now we are supposed to pay to park our cars?? Etihad is the only reason that !!!!ty airport is there. Tell the Airport Authorites we aren't going to pay. Unless of course the airport isn't charging and it is just something JH has invented to add to his bonus fund.

Has anyone in the big office actually confirmed we will now have to pay for parking?...
This may just be another one of those poorly written, misleading, non proof read missives that are regularly churned out....then again it could be another of Hogies money saving scams!!
