Harry,
Some details quoted in the EK jobs section so, imho, not a lot to give away and hardly something the other locals won't know.
As for the forum, yes I could but I do have issues with someone else knowing who I am but not the reverse. Paranoia rules

Fair enough. Have sent you a pm with the individual's details. At least that way you'll know who the EK moderator is and can then make a more informed decision about joining us!

And why would these details not be available for all EK pilots on here?
Maybe because of the same considerations we have why not giving our details to the EK forum?
After all such details were revealed to management from pprune in the unmentionable's case ......
I honor the effort, but i doubt the control.

Ladies and gents
The moderator does not want his details passed on. Not sure on the whole ethics/set up behind this but I respect his request for anonymity.
What I can say is that he has been with the Company for some time and is trustworthy with integrity. There are no 'management' pilots on the forum and you need to apply with name and staff number. He matches them up and should give you access. Ironically, using the EK dedicated forum is actually better in my opinion, almost like a private club. The posts too are more reasonable and fact based rather than some of the more emotional rants that we sometimes see on the public forum.
As George Michael once sang......Oh you gotta have faith...

after having received this on May 22nd

Dear Colleague,
The recent annual results announcement saw the award of a 3-week profit-share payment, to be paid in your May salary.
For you, May is also normally the time we announce any changes to your specific pay elements This year no decision has yet been made as work on the review is still ongoing. This means the only change you will see in your May salary will be your profit share payment.
If any other changes are approved they will be backdated to the date they normally take place. This will would be the 1st May for any specific pay elements and the 1st July for other pay and benefits, which also apply to the wider staff in Dubai.
I will keep you updated.
Kind regards,
Alan

My guess
My guess is, they budgeted receiving the interest on the money they get by delaying pilot pay raises by one month as this affects someone's "Under budget bonus." , and have now made this delay tactic an SOP. Also, a rumor is brewing, that OT threshold will be lowered to 85-87 hours. If this is done it would be great, but completely screw the hardest working drivers the (330/340). Again. 
EK should also add pay for every day off less than 12 to acknowledge this. Also absolutely needed is credit for training and vacation. Until this happens lowering the threshold does little in the way of good faith or justice. IMHO

Do you know your hourly rate.....does anybody ?
120....
Reducing the threshold to around the 85 mark would be a start but as a pilot group we would need to calculate our true hour,y rate.
The best way to calculate your hourly rate it to take your base pay and housing value divide that by 80 hours or so and then add the current flight pay (per hour) on top of that.
I know it's hard to calculate the true value of housing but it does need to be included in order to come up with a true hourly rate.
The reality is that the company will probably offer a discounted hourly rate when we exceed the threshold for that month, this is what they do now.
You points are valid and my reply is part of an on going conversation.

My guess is a rise in the order of 5-6%. EASA FTLs coming on line in 2016 will allow for the increase to 100 hours per month, meaning we will really be earning less for the amount we fly. Remember time in the bunks will not be counted soon.
Enjoy... Anyone who thinks they will get a better deal this time round is delusional.
Unless the increase is only on the basic and not on flight pay we are screwed.

Sadly, our anus has been "conditioned" for this eventuality...after years of abuse..
New joiners... "pftttt"...., expect NO SYMPATHY when YOUR day arrives!...

You have every right to post whatever you think is vital information prior to one's joining but cursing out someone who made a decision which you maybe wouldn't is unprofessional.

It's just a sign of people venting anger. Don't take it personally. People tend to speak with vitriol on the Internet when perhaps they wouldn't on the flight deck.
