Grammar Lessons Required ASAP !!
6.5% (3.5% plus a step of 3%) -
People are down , Morale at an all time low !
but people willing to keep the head down and work through it
3.5% (0.5% pay increase) -
An Absolute Insult !
Step + 0.5%, uproot a family for that???
PA in Dubai now can earn 30,000 AED per month,
a bit of perspective anyone?

Word from HR (buddy just came from wash up) is its 3.5%. But apparently that ascertion wasn't totally convincing!! So anyone's guess!!
Re-reading the email though I make it 3.5%. I guess we will see when the contract adjustments are done.

I was hopeful of 6.5% initially, but the more I read the email the more it becomes clear that it is only 3.5%. The key words in the email are "WHICH INCLUDES". It says "an increase of 3.5% WHICH INCLUDES a step increase AND an adjustment to the salary step (0.5%). Thanks for your generosity Emirates...that means that other than the step I get an extra 134 dirhams per month!!!! Woohoo!!

Personally I find the extra 0.5% more insulting than if they had just given the basic 3% step. Its as if they are saying, "We know that you deserve more than the step, so here is .5%". How stupid do they think we are honestly?? Why not just throw in a McDonald's happy meal gift certificate and call that our "raise"...

If you are relatively new to the company you may want to savour what the future holds: the most senior 200 or so pilots in the company are now making 0.5% more than they were two years ago
This is the regional notion of how one treats the "valued" employees.
There is a nice set of brackets there. If you apply to the airline with too little experience you get a PFO letter. If you eventually get hired but stay too long you get a PFO pay adjustment.

I can't see how this can mean 6.5%. It says 3.5% includes the step for those who are eligible.
3% step plus the 0.5% raise.
If you joined after December 2012 you get +0.5%.
Why they word all letters like it's been put through google translate is beyond me

Isn't it amazing that someone who holds a DSVP position, and for whom English is their first language, can't send basic information to the pilot body without it being subject to various interpretation!! This reflects incredibly negatively on the said individuals ability to communicate. I wonder whether he will care ?

Finally received the email. Not sure what some of you were reading, it's not the best writing but it's clearly 3.5% total. "..company has approved a 3.5% increase which INCLUDES (emphasis mine) a step increase.
Nothing in this place matters other than supply and demand. Their thinking is that the top 200 guys either have no place to go or don't want to leave. There are enough in the queue to ensure new classes are filled this year. Therefore, no need for an increase in real wages. The rest of us will tread water for another year and hope for a morsel next year........

Accommodation allowance...
The new joiners have recently been told that accommodation allowance is going up to 180,000/200,000 (FO/Capt). If the recruitment/new joiners team are saying this then surely there has to be even a hint of truth in it?!
Anyone heard about it? I thought it would be mentioned in the same email as the pay decrease one we got today.
