No Gearlever, all western expats up front. To be fair to them, the local guys haven't been involved in any of the 8 or so incidents as far as I know. The last incident that involved one of them was when 521 went belly up.

BANANASBANANAS,
The expat community haven’t exactly made it hard for it to look that way |

Any by the way, the company cannot touch your provident fund that you've contractually earned. It's not theirs to take. Regardless of why you're leaving/dismissed. They play on people's ignorance of the rules. |

Read your contract guys it says entire provident fund (edit company contribution) is forfeit if dismissed by the company.
|
It's cute that anyone still thinks a contract is worth anything in the UAE. They can do whatever they like and sure you can fight them but you'll lose your money or your job/visa or both

Please at least get the facts correct. The A fund, ie the Company contribution, is the only one of the three that can be rightfully and legally retained by the Company in the event of dismissal. The B & C fund are kept by yourself regardless of how you leave employment. It is NOT the entire fund. Harry |
I should specify, the contract from them to you is fluid.
Anything from you to them they will chase down and make you comply. |

I also find it rather cute when people talk complete bollocks on these forums and are obviously clueless to the facts. The Provident fund is not 'contracted' in the UAE. It's an approved and regulated financial scheme based in the Isle of Man and run by Trustees completely independent of Emirates. The money that I contribute to the B & C fund has nothing to do with my employer and is not legally theirs to take. Period. Harry |
Sadly 207 looks like we are going to lose some colleagues, that’s despite AIRLIVE reporting a year where no major passenger jets were lost due to accidents.

You're right Harry, I did mean the company contribution not your own contributions obviously. Written somewhere around the globe at some hour after some long flight 🙂

They’re all still rostered last time I checked, as well as a few others, who people have claimed have been fired.......would have to agree with cloud bunny
|
it’s normal to be rostered as long as the appeal is on going.
|
Harry re read I said nothing about provident funds I mentioned contracts. In general.
They can and will find ways around whatever they want to get around (including their own ERM, SOPs or anything else). Including paying you monies due when you leave, refunding medical expenses or a dozen other things. But they will squeeze you for every ruddy dirham on the way out. Unlike some here I did actually work for EK. |

4 guys from my building were fired back in the old days when firing was rampant.
1. the CMB selfie FO 2. failed a drug test, and was a problem child in any case 3. failed the medical, colour blindness 4. apparently because of a poorly timed/worded email that offended some in the bouncy castle. Again, probably other issues behind that one. |
The 'A' Fund is an Ace Card the company holds up it's sleeve.
When they are tired of you, they place a resignation letter in front of you to sign. Sign here and you keep your 'A' Fund. No recourse. All further correspondence will not be entered into. You are gone. halas (Literally) |
Well, the MEL CAPT and FO were not fired but forced to resign with a kalashnikov in their backs by the little midget Mr TCAS.
I quess that 9 years later EK has not changed one bit! VERY TROUBLING Fly safe with EK |
