Who cares about profit share, it's nice but it's only a top up. The real issue is on the base salary.... That's what needs to be addressed.

Probably 5 weeks bonus to keep ahead of the other guys and 5% pay raise (plus the 3% contractual).
That will satisfy most pilots here and keep the new hire classes full.

Probably nothing, since we missed our target:

Nice of them to tell the press before the employees. Not.

A bonus is nice but it won't attract pilots or keep them! A one time gift that is sporadic won't be enough.

New joiners know that if join the airline down the road the upgrade will come far more quickly. Pay is slightly better and they don't fly the hours we do. So WHY would anyone come to EK first?

AS mentioned in a washup last week that attrition is becoming a problem!! People are leaving because they can make more money elsewhere and fly 75-80 hour months.

For most pilots the 92 hours is an issue. Until they deal with that pilots will leave. Any pilot over 50 is crazy NOT to!! These hours are a health hazard and now that there are options elsewhere where you can fly less AND make more more AND be based at or near home more and more will leave.

A bonus would be a nice way of saying GOOD JOB but it won't attract or retain pilot.

Target was 4.2, and EK made 4.1? Is that correct?

Pay review will probably be out at 16:00. Press send and run...

And 3 weeks? After two years of nothing? I know it could have been worse but, really, 3 weeks?
