No more accommodation allowance EK
This is a rumour coming out of accommodation. Before getting too excited it is only being discussed as a cost cutting option and I do not know if it will affect those who have bought property.
For those of us who have already been forced into a move to Meydan this won't be an issue.
As we have been made aware that our senior management do read these forums, who feels this would be a step too far? I've asked colleagues who have said they will leave or seriously consider it.
At the last fleet forum we were asked to actively encourage our friends to join Emirates, this will become near impossible to do if negative changes continue to be made.

It would be a step too far and would lead to my instant submission of resignation. It would also be an indication of blatant desperation and would be an embarrassment to EK as a failure, I don't think they want to air such a statement.
On the other hand, nothing surprises me anymore and if true it would be an indication of way bigger issues on the horizon making a resignation now a smart move.
I think what is actually being tossed around is that there will be no further offer of accommodation allowances to new hires or employees being force moved to the labour camps.

New joiners not being offered it would be more likely, or at least the first move towards a company wide change.
What must the pilot recruitment team think?

If they stop offering it to new joiners I would think it would make recruitment much harder. If they take it away from people already here it will make retention much harder. I think it would end up costing more than it saves.

The same happened in 2009,although the Company kept the option open for those willing to buy a property.
I seriously doubt the withdrawal of Accommodation Allowance for the individuals who are paying mortgage.
But then again....😱😱

A friend sent me the accommodation departments reply when attempted to opt out earlier this month..
"We are not in a position to accept the date you are providing due to the financial impact which is associated with the potential duplication of costs and periods of dead rent by the Company, the date we are proposing you is 6 months from now and is obtained by the system."

Stopping the allowance for those living out is not going to happen....maybe jut maybe if renting...but not mortgage holders.
Ending opting out for current and new joiners - more likely being looked at.
That said I know more than a few who are waiting to move into one and two bed rentals for reasonable price,once kids are off to college, so as to help pay for said college. If this option is not available it's sure to lead to more resignations.
It would be another short sighted, quick fix, 'shoot yourselves in the foot' move.
Based on that alone - it's sure to happen. It's the only way they know.

This thread was started by someone just running their mouth on a Thursday afternoon.
It maybe correct but if it is then it is just by chance and not by this person having any unique knowledge of the situation.
All the best to everyone in the coming year

Not quite accurate
Not quite accurate AP. Mate of mine got his the other day - 15 days after he applied. I have just been awarded mine and other mates are getting theirs. I know people who have been told 6 months but have a confirmed move out date. I think it depends on where you are staying and if there is a demand for that building.

I can imagine that they'll try to stop paying the allowance to new joiners.

Not really surprised, the muppets are in deep **** and more **** is coming up !
Funny or scary times a head, interesting to see their fight for survival, but sorry the game is coming to an tragic end sooner then they can imagine.

They would pretty much loose everyone who bought a property or rented a property. It would be a step too far. It would effect too many senior guys and the whole pilot body would be decimated at the higher end especially.
I can see it coming for those who try and move out or for those joining, but for those already out I really doubt it.

Felix. Apply the current management logic of EK. They will do the opposite of anything that is good for the company as they only focus on the current state of their bonus.
