Emirates rumour mill

[Whitemonk Returns]

When do they usually announce a new pay deal/bonus and when do these things come into affect?

I have seen the propsed new salary figures this morning and while they look very promising I am wondering do new payscales apply to everyone once they are implemented or is it a case of tough luck you have the contract you signed? In a previous life if a payscale was increased it applied to everyone regardless of contract but I know the UAE plays by its own rules. Cheers

Do you care to share the proposed figures?

No, simply because I can't verify them but from what i seen they look legit. I am sure it won't be long until they are public but hence why I asked the above questions I don't know the timeframe for these things in this part of the world.

It's a rumour network ...to share rumours ..

Think you may have seen an erroneous slide from a roadshow. A simple mistake.

[MR8]

An erroneous slide which put new first officiers about 4,000 AED ahead of pilots that joined just after Covid? Or that put DEC's at the same scale as a skipper with FIFTEEN years in the company?

One can only hope it's a slide which accidentally was put out there with the new (proposed) salary scales for all pilots. Then again they have done a similar thing before.

This is such a meaningless, stupid and entitled sentence.

EK are a business who focus on actually being an airline. Staff are just a number and nothing is personal enough for them to care about 'slapping' people in the face. They make some excellent market decisions, and sometimes they mess up with some seriously poor decision making (such as the recent floods). But at the end of the day, its a market and your'e a minion.

Profit share decision will be out in the next 2 weeks; pay review in June.

SOPS, you haven't worked in an airline for at least 10 years, most likely quite a few more years than that. Why still so hung up on what happens at EK?

[SunnyTheSemen]

How many other airlines give you costa discount . Even if the UAE one does taste of piss and tears , it’s a great perk.

Stinky, Sounds like you need to go and get another job if it’s so bad - nobody is forcing you to stay.

[RickMatt]

I heard a rumour that EK is presently not taking in any Asians specifically Indians, any truth to this?

Hi guys, I know that the locals are the highest in the social heirachy in Dubai , but as an Australian (East coast - NOT WEST!!) where abouts would you say myself and my family are (shes Australian as well but from Darwin)

Best not to come from the WEST! But Darwin is not that good either. In MS that will put you in the middle somewhere..
Just marry a local girl/guy and you will be at the top. Halas.

Aussies have a huge reputation sunny.

I have seen painted across internet and social media a huge new recruitment drive and it mentions higher salaries. I have looked at the careers website and I don’t see any new figures published, they seem to be the same as it’s been for a while now, does anyone actually know the figures being quoted for these new ‘higher salaries’?

[Tight Seat]

They are waiting for the financial results to be published.
From a very high up : 16 weeks profit share, 10 week bonus and 25% pay increase for pilots ( 5% rest of the company). Also trainer pay increase will be “ substantial “
That person also said something about flexible working patterns, but had no details .

Hope so!
Doubt it!
simply put, EK lack of pilots is purely due to upper management policies, middle
management intransigence and disregard to do something about what pilots have been telling them for a long time.
