EK: how many days off do you have in April?
 

It has been "normal" on the 330/340 for years. Hello Tomorrow!

10 days...spread as desdihold puts it.

14 days off.

12 days off,

What bid where you for April?

April
 

11 days off

14. Plus 2 rest

15 second bottom

12, including block of 5. Second bottom...

Why bold & underlined? Angry? I can read it without the cack formatting.

13 days off.

There is no hidden agenda behind the bold and underlined text of my first post, it seems to be because of the hotel business centre computer.

A cigar is sometimes just a cigar.

13 and second top bid.

Can't complain, 6 days off, 19 days leave, top bid.
Very unstable, recently I had 92hrs plus RTGS, plus SIM, 8 days off scattered all over the place.

Bid for a string of 5 , 2nd top , got string of 4.
Question, did anyone get 5 in a string or is 4 the new optimum ?

10 days off

top bid. 10. good trips but no more than two off in a row

380 Top bid - 12 with 3 in the row max

Top bid got 15 days off including block of 5 and 4 I asked for

A330 bottom bid. 15 off + 3 rest.
Thinking they made a mistake but... I'm not going to call to find out! :p

Top bid.. 8 days off. max 2 in a row. Guess which fleet!!

top bid, 11 days off, got almost all trips bid for (+ night India TA)


90 hrs...so I reckon swapping will virtually impossible

Day's Off
 

Not Frea**'n enough!!

13 including a block of 5 :)

11, with one block of three, the rest all over :-(

91.5hrs, 9 days off and SFA of what I asked for. Nothing..

9 days off

I got 6 days off in a row and another 3 days off in a row

Middle bid - 12 days off, 2 rest days, 82 hrs credit, 34 hrs stick. Days off include one block of 4 and another block of 5 off in a row. Gotta love deadheading and freighter flying.

9 days off, 2nd top bid, 90:45 hrs, NOT ONE TRIP bid for

9 days, top bid, and they stiffed me with a return day before my leave.

13 x, 2 rest, 1 SBU, 87hrs

So many days off
 

Have 30 days off; Oh, just remembered that I left EK in January!

No more waste of time bidding to get little of what you ask for, do what you want when you want, and I have management that cares (aka the Mrs).

No more sub-continent in the night and no more fools to answer to - nirvana!

My usual 20 days off in a row after working for 6 weeks.....

But I work in the far east. Would love to work at Emirates if only I could get the same.

First class ticket home.

Perhaps EK needs two options for pilots. The second being a lower payscale for a commuting pilot.

When I post on here now, i get hate mail.

Permanent days off, and enjoying every day. Tommorows roster, wake up at 8, takes dogs to beach at 10, go home by 12, think about what to do next.

Like McDodalds....I'm loving it.

Forgot to add..driving a great new car...life is good.

Just a matter of interest, and no hate mail here, if life is so good and rewarding why are you still posting on this site. Surely staring at the sunset from the beach surrounded by dogs should be enough. Sounds good enough to me. I would cut my ek ties completely.

Not sure about April, but only worked 3 days in March.
Ex EK obviously.
:ok:

It's called 'therapy', Shake, this place needs to be purged from the system. He'll move along eventually. In the meantime it's good to hear from someone who's out and only looking back to let the rest know things are better elsewhere.
