Share the EK Love in Lagos.........

411A,

I guess that FO did not hear about Hepatitis A&B Vaccine... Did he?
Im not sure where do you work but all FD and CC in EK require to have valid Vaccination such as: Hepatitis A&B, Yellow Fever, Typhoid and many others.
So... I do not think that could be the case for EK crew in Lagos.

The things airlines can always rely on:

1. Pilots can never agree on anything.
2. When it comes to T&C erosion they are gutless and few actually put up a rational counter argument. If a mere 10% objected officially, most edicts would be reversed.
3. Apart from the field of aviation they are not particularly bright and do not understand the mechanisms by which they can properly counter some of these nonsensical arrangements.

Look forward to more cost cutting measures and be sure no one is likely to oppose them in any meaningful way.

Hi,

Lagos in particular is a real money spinner for some cabin crew. Make lots on commission on both sectors due to duty free sales, then bank the dollars dished out at the hotel by bringing their own food. I therefore sympathise with them.

I dont agree with the decision, but it would be better if you could eat/drink as an when required.

I often leave the crew on arrival, re join at check out, so i will be substantially out of pocket when not in the company hotel. Would be very tempted to pick someone at random and send them to the hotel for a bit of a feed at Ek's expense !. Of course i would ensure they were wearing the company issued cap to prevent any confusion.

Room service ? What for ?

A Jepp and an Iron are enough to get hot meals anytime in your room:

The point is what you are "allowed" to do on your off duty. Do you enjoy being told where to eat and drink, and how to spend your layover time? One of the great joys for me in the industry in enjoying the variety a foreign layover allows me; in culture, music, food and drink. This is a horrible precedent; a Brave New World indeed.

... uhm, and to say nothing of the delightful interaction available from the 'ladies' of countless nightclubs & bars around the globe, eh?! ( ah nostalgia,... it ain't what it used to be! )

The strange thing about LOS was the fact that we got just over US$150 cash prior to leaving the COC and, for the first two months of this year, US$50 of free food at the pool bar and the buffet.

Now it's US$9
