Have you compounded the knock on effects of missing out on a 3% pay rise this year on each of the next 15 years?

I will take the pay rise every time as it then becomes locked in.

Isn't a good indication of receiving a profit share usually an invitation to EGHQ for an announcement of our financial profits? If we receive a typical email concerning our financial "analysis" of the year, that is usually not a good sign?! I am still in the minority and think we will receive something, but we shall see in the coming weeks. Cheers!

It would probably be a voucher for the egg timer... They would play the odds that you wouldn't claim it and then they can save the extra coin!

Now you all sound like whining pilots. Wasn't this what we were hoping for, this exact email? I for one am giving them the benefit if the doubt. I might be proven wrong, we'll see on Thursday.

Ohh lighten up... It's just a little joke based off past actions of our incredible leadership team.

This is an internet message board.... We're not exactly saving the world on here are we?

I hope we are given what is due. Nothing more. Nothing less. We shall know in a few days.

Cautious optimism may be forgiven...but not counting chickens yet.

As a reminder:

2013-14 group profit target 4.22bn DHS, 1st six months achieved 2.2bn DHS.

However: 2012-13 target was 3.5bn and 3.1bn was reached.

The first half of that year was very promising only to have profit collapse (inexplicably) in the 2nd half. BUT there was no presentation in atrium...bad news delivered via GroupWorld

Thurs will be interesting indeed.

I agree, it was quite funny. Just that the people I fly with these days are so
disgruntled that it is hard to tell who´s joking or not. I agree, I hope we get what is due....

So did someone actually receive an e-mail? Inviting them to what exactly? Nothing in my inbox... maybe some of us were left off the list (on purpose??).

Best I check my spam folder where the "best garden" and "groupworld" e-mails usually end up.

Sheikh Ahmed would not stand in front of the troops and offer platitudes. There will be a profit share, the question is how much. 10 weeks / 10% would be very satisfactory. Gotta go, just had a pig on the TCAS.

A bonus yes, that's for sure, but you can already divided it by 2 ( eventually by 4) as you apparently didn't get anything the last 2 years.

As for an hypothetic pay adjustment , the pay cut ( productivity increase) a few years ago was so "strong" that you guys will never even be close to what you really deserve.

And BTW, nothing comes for free so enjoy the announcement in a few days but be ready for what is coming in a few weeks....thrust me

@ Lospilotos

Have a sense of humour and you may find the guy sitting next to you is laughing with you instead of at you.

Good or bad whatever the announcement, try to remain upbeat and the day will go better I'm sure. If your not then I understand why the guy sat next to you is disgruntled

Hardly worth warmly inviting everyone to attend...just to hear the only clapping coming from everyones jaw hitting the floor
