Ek bonus

[flyinghighskyhighy]

How many weeks would we get this time? if any or will they use the same words last yr

[yankee22]

I don't think anyone cares anymore. We're all sooo tired from working ridiculous schedules and also tired from being lied to and manipulated.

Most can't think staight due to fatigue, so getting an answer might be tough.

[Schnowzer]

I do. 6% and 2 weeks!

[a747jb]

Why are we excited about 6% and 2 weeks. Thats an absolute kick in the balls considering the kind of money they are making and the amount we are working. Unfortunately, I think thats all these guys (insert choice name calling and words here ) are going to part with.

[fatbus]

It should be 15-20 % and 15+ weeks, but greed will bring it down to 6& ( which cost zero , taken from us already) and 2-3 weeks because they can say and do whatever they want to

[Fart Master]

What's the difference between your c*ck and your bonus.....................

Yor wife will blow your bonus, ta da

[CohibaFlyer]

I get my Bone Us every day I fly with the one day off, I'd love to have three days in a row to just sleep and try to see my wife and kids. I see all the complaints about EK and I envy their schedules. "Worlds Best Airline" What a joke. Sorry Guys I think we gotten the Bone.

[dustyprops]

Well obviously it'll be 0 weeks and very little raise. Volcano took care of that.

[fatbus]

Volcano happened after the year end but it couldn't have happened at a better time for management / pay review. What kind of a spin they will put on that will be humorous

[dustyprops]

As I think you are alluding to fatbus, it makes no difference which side of March 31st this happened as far as this lot are concerned. It's curtains to profit share and maybe payrise.

[pissedoffpilotek]

Well in a few days time they will be begging us to help out and recover the situation.
I'm sure that no pay rise and no profit share will mean not too many people answer the phone.
On the other hand if they give something decent most guys would be happy to help out!
Here's hoping

[Jolly Foreigner]

Alternatively they could just furlough guys if they are losing that much cash should a hinderance to the recovery plan be a way of kicking back at the company. Personally I would like to get the show back on the road whenever it happnes and not jepordise mine or the family's future. These are exceptional circumstances and being a t@*t about is not really an option.

[donpizmeov]

From a very reliable source (well a friend of a friend who has a sister who has a daughter that goes to school with someone that knows the dxb refueler) "the 2010 bonus will be a minimum of three times that given in 2009".

You read it here first chaps,

The Don

[777boyindubai]

For those that don't know EK and who don't understand Don's sarcasm, it means that 3 times 0 equals your bonus!

[dustyprops]

Jolly Foreigner, how on earth are they going to furlough guys when they don't have enough as it is? Are you suggesting they are going to axe routes and reduce capacity significantly as a result of this? But wait.....then they'd have to park airplanes which is expensive business and not to mention how that looks to the rest of the industry when we've been "leading the way" and expanding during the economic crisis.

I think you will be fine mate, Madrid, Prague, Tokyo, Dakar all coming online. I don't think anyones being a t@*t about anything, realistic is more like it, Chill.

[fatbus]

Some people have no idea what goes on here and how EK operates

[puff m'call]

What Ed and Tim Clarke and the rest of them fail to say is how much was actually saved while all the european flight were grounded.

Never mind Hotel, per diems and flight pay, what about the saving in fuel costs, it must be millions of $$$$$$$$$$

[Oblaaspop]

Well, using your logic Puff, the most profitable airline on the planet must be the one which never flies at all!

In fact, I think I'll set up my own one with no aircraft whatsoever...... This time next year I'll be a millionaire I tells ya!

[ibelieveicanfly]

no profit share on my april salary

I do not know about you guys,but I do not see any dirham as a profit share on my april salary,those bas.....We worked hard last financial year and thanks are only for coping with VA.disgusting!

[donpizmeov]

Calm down, they dont tell us about the pay cuts and no profit share until the 6th May. And it never gets paid until the May salary. So save your disappointment until then.

The don
