I hope our management realise that we will not be paying for the parking at the airport.

I have been told that this ADAC Airport Parking email was sent to all UAE-based staff but it doesn't concern flght crews in terms of payment.
EY will pay whatever it takes, but flight crews will be entitled of free parking spaces at the airport.

1/ Information to be confirmed
2/ IF this information is confirmed, the email sender is really stupid to spread erroneous information like that. It only creates anger and frustration...
IF not, this is completely NOT acceptable; EY would make a dramatic mistake by implementing this to flight crews.

To be continued...

Went to the airport, paid the 900aed went to HR and got it back b4 I left.

Just get someone to use your card whilst you are out of the country, solves the 9 day issue.

Have you heard of Emirates...?

Angry Break the Law and Enjoy Living in Abu Dhabi

It may sound like a cliche after all what have been posted here. Etihad Airways needs to do something about the current housing situation...

Allwances are far from realistic and have nothing to do with what's happening in the market. Sometimes I can't help but wonder, is the housing departments really talking about the same Abu Dhabi that I live in?? Someone up there needs to stop acknowledging and apologizing about the price increase... to step down and do something for apology alone is of no help to us.

With the smallest single bedroom apartments costing 6-didt figures in annual lease, technically, if you are a senior officer or even in junior management, you can't afford a place to live in. You are indirectly compelled to break the UAE laws and sub-lease along with lodgers just make ends meet and save just a bit of money. Mind you, sharing accomodation is banned by the UAE laws and is considered a felony to wich one could be jailed and heavily fined. Therefore, I fully hold Etihad Airways HR and housing department responsible for this "felony" I was forced to commit. Seriously, my heart goes out for those with families and kids to send to schools. It must be tough out there.

Moving to ADAC in a few weeks after serving EY for 4 years.... Will miss EY but I just got sick & tired of being forced to break the law. Mind you, many are leaving for the same reasons.

Maybe one of the reasons is the big ROAD SHOW in USA coming now in August and i think they wish to recruit a lot of DEC's

tHe guys doing their upgrade are taking like 3 months .

and they are still surviving on basic pay .
pay should be at least an average of your last 6 months .
would make the transition alot smoother .

There are pilots abound. Shortage is a myth. Just look what's happening with the American, European carriers and others in the real competitive world?
Just like EK did so far, EY, and others needing it, will go anywhere and everywhere to make the numbers work without having to change their present pay scale. And they will only change pay packages if those numbers become short of the targets. It is obvious that the "bean counters" will do just that everywhere in the world; pay on demand.

Hiring Americans is a short sighted policy....very few will be long term...first sign of trouble or an upturn in US aviation and they will be gone.....sorry guys its true!

A competent manager will have that vision, but policies here are usually run in short term. It's important to look good.
