If the 28/13 freight job is so "oversubscribed" then why is it still on the careers website?

commuting?

Hi all
I'm just after some information on the commuting side of things.
I realise you have to do this at your own expense so I'm trying to do the maths.

How is this staff travel?
Is it a space available system?
Can I confirm tickets?
Can I Confirm a business class ticket?
How much does it cost to fly from Perth to Dubai and vice versa on staff travel?

Thanks

On the bright side they still get the extended time off to go home every month!
(BTW thanks guys for helping us out, much appreciate the odd night turnaround being taken by you guys!)

I am not on the freighter contract but it is not in any of our interests to have colleagues on the freighter being unhappy and who have effectively moved back home. It will probably take significantly far less EK generated nonsense to push such individuals to the point of resigning. Less people remaining on the line benefits none of us who remain.

What did the did the guys taking the freight "contract" think would happen? Nothing EK puts on paper means a thing. So, I am assumimg they are now flying pax flights in between their freighter flights? I bet this was not what was on offer in the original gig?

I'm taking the temperature to decide whether to join or not.. I'm not a fan of these night short hopps however i don't mind helping the folks from time to time.

Q1: Are the hourly rates the same for cargo and pax?
Q2: How often are these flights?

Cheers.

The salary and benefits are significantly less on the freighter fleet than the pax fleet. Have a look on the EK recruitment website for the full picture Virga.

I went through the website and attended the roadshow i'm quite happy with the big picture since someone brought up the mix ops pax cargo i just wanna dig deeper.

As long as you are aware the roadshow "big picture" will be significantly different to reality.

Bait and switch is an art form here.

you have been warned.

Yep. Work out how many hours you could possibly do in 28 days on, 13 off- and you'll do them.

If you're on the freighter fleet you get paid the freighter salary, freighter flight pay etc etc. If you get called for a passenger flight you still get paid as if on the freighter.
