Well yes, compared to the talking horse, anyone would be better.

Someone told me that he(talking horse) was here in Dubai teaching something at the aviation college. Wonder what he is teaching??? :rolleyes

G. Jenkins was the boss of flight ops at the time I arrived. He was by far more superior to any of this new lot we have had over the years.

Anyway, I hope it's a good outcome for all of us in EK.

Ed is teaching aviation management at EAC , has been for awhile now and getting paid way too much for it. A bit of laugh when you think about it.

Pay review : 9% and @ 10-15 AED per hour, ULR FTLs will push up to 1000 will end up avoiding them for health reasons

No doubt there will be lots of people there to watch and more importantly for their promotions to be seen watching, then clapping at the correct moment. I doubt there will be any discord from the office wallas if there is no pay rise, no step and a paltry bonus.

I hope to be proved wrong and would like to be proved wrong however I fear that tomorrow afternoon a mist of depression will slowly descend on the company.

Keep Discovering!!!

Yes, and I remember the year we were told we didn't need a pay rise because the USD was so strong...

Are you holding Emirates responsible for the state of the dollar?

In any event 12 weeks equates to just under a quarter of your yearly salary. Has the US dollar devalued 25% over 12months and if so, against which currencies?

The bonus is not a distraction. It is what it is and, according to my quick maths, is actually fairly close to expected based on the target. The pay rise will be what they feel is justified and required for future expansion. If they can get enough new guys from the US, the falling dollar will not be an issue.

I read this pay review and was dumb founded.....

It has to be a typo????

It states we are getting a 3% increment if we joined prior to 31 Dec 2010....\

Then states a 5% payrise if we joined AFTER 31 Dec 2010.....

That would mean they vlue new joiners more than the people already here. It would also mean that the guys on the max increment get nothing.

If it is 3% only god help you EK you are about to watch a huge amount of people leave...

If it is a 3% increment and a 5% rise then you still will see a huge amount depart or not want to join.

I am hearing staggering figures for Cabin Crew checking out.... 3000/4000 waiting to leave. If this is true the next few months are gonna be extreme.

The way i read it.
Those employed before 31st DEC get their yearly step, those after don't cause they haven't been here a year.
Those employed after 31st DEC(all of us) get in addition to the step, 5%.
So the new guys get 5% the older guys their step and 5%

Poorly worded at best

Extremely poorly worded, but confirmed as 5% for all, plus 3% step for those who joined before 31 Dec 2010.

Would it have been that difficult to write it that simply?
