(Not really a highjack)
I'm looking for any info regarding the possibility to grapple a few days off / month, 6 hours away from dxb. Is there any company built limitation ? And maybe how many hours are you expected to return before your next duty?
Could someone please shed a light on what a 380 roster does look like (FO if possible) ?
Thanks!

BIKET.. go play somewhere else.. this is the grumpy corner..
All forced.. now total of 30days in two blocks of 15, one block is wanted.. other completely useless..
every time they pull this trick now.. for three years running.. "our sincere apologies but due to unforeseen problems we are not able to publish [fill in the contractual obligation of your choice] on time. thank you for your understanding." a very weak excuse for something called "management"

Absolute idiots.......really taking the piss now.
Had 13 days over Christmas and new year. No complaints there but now added 5 more days to it and another unwanted 12 in March 2017.
If they want me to leave, they're doing a great job pushing!!!
Joke is an understatement!

As much as I'm appreciative having Xmas day off , I'm probably now considered to have peak leave and won't be able to bid for peak leave next year.
Would that assumption be correct???

Hey guys,
Does it really have to be this hard??? REALLY??
Seems every corner we turn we find one issue after another; Leave, monthly bids, 100 hour rosters, swap system, and trying to get ALT/and leave on an EK aircraft.
Transparency is a 4 letter word here at EK... they would rather you look forever for some God forsaken email sent a billion years ago and reference it....just like trying to find something in the OMA... Geez... does it have to be this hard??
At what point do you wake up and smell the coffee... This outfit is running on Redbull trying to put out fires, and put a smiley face on everything. Just like the "Happy News" you get from Gulf news.... It's simply fake.
God forbid all you holding "the bag" when ISIS or some other dumb **** decides to take revenge on the UAE... Thankfully... I'll be LONG gone!
Please don't take me wrong... the ONE thing I enjoy and respect here at EK is the crew I fly with.... but enough is enough...
While the "Bouncy Castle" keeps spewing kool-aid... I hope many who are of the ability, move... and move soon... let's make room for more folks willing to bet their career....

So true Fire Ball. Everything in this place is one struggle after another. Getting a visa, trying to get a villa, even the upgrade process. Trying to get to your home country once a year on your one measly free ticket a year, if you lucky enough to get any leave, again another struggle. Even trying to get your kids into a decent school, another struggle with endless waiting lists. Pilots are enemy number one here and a massive Inconvenience to the company. The atmosphere in the flightdeck is amazing but once you step off the airplane in Dubai and have to deal with day to day life here it's a fight and a struggle for every inch.

Can I ask that if you are not happy with your leave, or did not get the full entitlement (42 days) please write to JA and politely voice your concern.

Absolute joke
Got given one day of peak leave in 15/16, the very last one which was the 9th of Jan. As a result ( the rule about having at least 7 days of peak leave for it to count does not start until 16/17 ) I don't "qualify for peak leave. Yes I have asked about it and no I didn't get anywhere. I didn't even want the 9th of Jan off.
So this year I've got 16 days days off ( end of Oct into Nov )...No other leave awarded, now carrying 44 days leave balance...List of rejected leave now too long to fit on the page.
In addition to this sorry tale, my leave is about 10 months apart and has been for the last 2 years ( no peak )
330 left seat.....Cant wait to see the back of that fleet!
