All I saw in the two videos were a bunch of crew milling around.
And while that in and of itself is truly impressive, and needed, I was hoping to see the more substantive videos hinted at from the above comments. Alas, I guess it means the truly illuminating videos have all been taken down already, perhaps under duress.
All I can say with the fast approaching pay review season coming, this could not have come at a more opportune time, for all of us.

The difference is they showed up on their day off. How many pilots would do that? I can hear it right now “if they want me to come, they can schedule me a duty day then” or “I can make a bigger difference on PPrune”

If you want things to change you have to be ready to pay a little something in return...
If you are not ready to give up one day off to come to the HQ with your fellow pilots to put some pressure on the management don't expect any changes.
Well done cabin crew , at least it shows some kind of interest in your future and some unity.

please tell me it was AAR
short flights long nights
I was thinking the same thing...will the powers that be see this as some sort of "organised action"...and take "appropriate" action. I'm willing to bet that this has little "get together" has shocked them enough to turn their lattes sour.

If thats true Xulu, management will come out swinging. I can only hope that the crew really are not scared anymore.

All those youngsters with their mobile phones!!! In the workplace nonetheless!!!
Some on this forum will be frowning and frothing.
Kudos to all who attended! Someone has already said this but the “if you don’t like it leave” mantra has no weight anymore.

The whole world is watching! They can no longer hide the hideous truth of how this company treats its employees. They (CC) at least have a set, more than I can say about their pilot group.....

Swinging and missing. You can't hold a crew forum and then claim that the CC "organized".
I am surprised that none of the content has been uploaded yet. A few videos of a large attendance at HQ is not going to get the word out to anyone outside of EK. (and for f*@ks sake, TURN YOUR PHONE SIDEWAYS FOR VIDEO!!!!
)

With the current trend of social media, EK management are no longer able to "divide and conquer". Good job to all our cabin crew colleagues. Hopefully the first of many steps in which the collective group of EK pilots and CC send a clear message to the 9th floor.

The pregnant crew that were grounded with live out allowance and salary taken away, who spoke out in the forum have now been given office jobs with all allowances and salary re instated.

Good they got a result, but a shame it was on something that affects only a segment of the crew rather than everyone.
A friend who was present told me that unfortunately the content of the 'discussion' got sidetracked by some people focusing on personal grievances/issues with the company rather than the big ticket items (like rostering, lack of respect from other departments, leave, etc etc etc)
Now if they can keep the momentum and tackle the big things like the F word and the high hour rosters, that will be noteworthy.
No disrespect but a few pregnant crew isn't something that the majority of the 20k plus CC workforce super care about ahead of their QOL and working environment. They knew there was no maternity leave when they joined and they got it last year. Move on to something else and come back to the mat benefits later. Take care of the rosters, pays etc first that affects 100% of the CC workforce. Office jobs for injured crew would be a good start, since injuries are something that crew don't plan for and currently there is no guarantee of any hours available for those who can't immediately return to flying following an industrial injury
