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

I believe there are some relatively unhappy guys on the freighter now having to do night turnarounds in between there normal cargo flights.
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!)

short flights long nights
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.

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.
