EK are so generous we don’t get a yearly increment automatically, it has to be graciously authorized.. For a number of years it wasn’t given so we got no increment or step ie base salaries were not increased even though we got a small pay rise. For info base salaries are what end of service pay etc are based on.
This pay rise is actually a step on the base salary (3%) plus a pay rise of 2%.
So yes 5% which they said was to cover increased cost of living. Dubai claims inflation is 5%, however for those of us here the real inflation figure is probably closer to 10% possibly more which is reflected in day to day expenses, so 5% is a slap in the face really! It should have been 10% minimum - a step of 3% plus 7%!

We don't even get the full 5%. There has been no increase to flight pay or overtime (never mind the laughable day off payment) for several years now so while the office workers will be 5% better off every month, we won't.

Apparently some people don’t know but I’ve been told MH ( he who took enforced break at Qatar) will be chief trainer on EK A350! Doing the EK version of the manuals in office at moment!.
He did his CRM recently, sat a back of class, on his own laptop working away adding an occasional smart arse remark in way of contribution!
now who’s going to bid for the A350!!!

I would love to know how he keeps his position. In my opinion…he is a incompetent, sexist, bully. But that’s just me.

Heard recently EK in discussions to stretch 77x (can’t remember the designation!) to include space for a bar between first and business.
Also EK in discussion with airbus about who is going to pay for repairs due to cracks where two wing spars are joined . That is a major repair.
