You have been given access to a list ?

Ok let's agree to disagree :-)

And lots of those gone too!, check your sources!
What about ex Easyjet guys sitting at the bottom of the seniority list and are still safe? Protected by higher echelons perhaps?
Now that’s what you should be bleating about not the guys on leave without pay from a soon to be defunct airline!

If this is true then god help safety, because guys who do fill in those reports are doing it because they believe that safety is being compromised. They dont do it because they are trying to get one over on the company. When crew fear putting in safety reports it truly is the end of a company and another nail in the Emirates coffin for sure. Emirates will soon just be the Gulf Air of the southern gulf.

I know EK are traditionally bad with employee relations but this has reached a new low. I am very sorry for all those who have lost their jobs. The sycophancy towards EK on LinkedIn is nauseating. Well done to the Bognor bus driver for having a sociopathic lack of empathy to your safety critical staff.

From what I saw, just when you think they can't do any worse, another name that's a brick in the foundation gets added to the pile.

It's almost like they don't want any experience, flying instinct, backbone or decent pilots arou... oh wait...

(That's not to say those left dont include the above, but the extremes they are going to frankly boggles the mind)

Do they really think they'll be anything but GF: The Even Worse Edition going about it like this?

They're cutting out the roots of the CC community as well. At this rate the survivors in the flight deck will need to pack their own lunch, the remainders will be too busy kissing pax a$$ (more so than currently) down the back in fear of their jobs to attend to you...

Sad

About 10 CCMs gone. Gives an idea of how many cabin crew. Very sad.

Don said “dude”!?!?
Must’ve seen it on that WIFi. Proves he’s not a boomer.

Not at all. I have just heard many of the names so have a good idea of the calibre of people that are leaving.

From Paddle Your Own Canoe....

Approximately 200 Unmentionable Airways cabin crew have allegedly been told to drop an unfair dismissal lawsuit they recently filed in an Abu Dhabi court against the airline or be evicted from company-provided accommodation. The redundant cabin crew were laid-off in the last few weeks as the company seeks to downsize because of the Corona crisis but have been allowed to remain in Abu Dhabi until lockdown restrictions are eased and repatriation flights can be arranged for them to return home.

The group of foreign expat cabin crew have allegedly filed an unfair dismissal claim because Unmentionable has so far failed to explain the criteria that were used to decide who would be made redundant. Hundreds of cabin crew have already been laid off and insiders claim more redundancies are to follow in the coming weeks.

While Unmentionable acknowledges that cabin crew, pilots and other staffers have been made redundant because of the “unprecedented challenges” brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the airline has so far declined to say exactly how many employees have been laid off.

During an online meeting with the 200 ex-cabin crew, Unmentionable representatives had sought to reach an “amicable decision” where it was highlighted that company provided accommodation was an additional benefit that they did not have to provide under the UAE’s labour laws.

Sources claim the crew members have been asked to provide proof that they have dropped their case in order to receive the original settlement order, including the right to remain in company provided accommodation – a common perk for expat cabin crew in the Persian Gulf.

If the crew members proceed with their claim, any subsequent legal case could take between six months to a year to be heard.

As of August 2019, Unmentionable had 20,500 employees, including nearly 5,000 cabin crew and 2,184 pilots. The vast majority of Unmentionable's Abu Dhabi-based workers are expat foreign workers and their right to remain in the UAE is tied to an employment visa. Unmentionable has agreed to extend visas for laid-off employees until repatriation flights can be arranged.

Unmentionable plans to have resumed services to as many as 58 destinations by August, dependent on the further easing of lockdown measures and border restrictions. Residents and citizens of the UAE are now allowed to travel freely to and from Abu Dhabi but tourists remain banned from entering the emirate.

The Smiling Butler too 😭 (hopefully that's not too cryptic but I don't want to name actual names) Put so much heart and soul into everything, a true leader and they punted him too. Absolutely classless EK

The pilots on LWP from other carriers are on a Fixed Term contract. One of the vagaries of UAE law is that those on a FTC cannot be retrenched cheaply (they would have to be paid out the value of their remaining contract) , but those employees who are on an unlimited contract can be.

'Tis a strange world we live in.

Do you have a reference for this?
This does not apply to those on LWP at EK I believe!

in the KT I read that the 'Dubai chief of tourism' expects tourism to normalise this year....
And I thought recreative drugs were illigal over here... Does anyone know what this dude is smoking...
You just can't make this **** up. This whole place is imploding and no, it isnt fun...

which one? There’s so many that your cryptic comment was too cryptic :eek:

At least they have the balls to fight back. I think instagram pictures of homeless crew would go down well in the press......

He always had a smile on his FACE... 🤫

the joker ?

My friend was a cabin crew at EK for more than 15 years. Impeccable record. Married to a fellow crew member. Few days ago she notified them she is pregnant and went on pregnancy/maternity leave. They terminated her 8 days later with no right to appeal. I am honestly shocked at zero consideration they are giving to their long term staff... It's like you're even less than a number

mmorel is 100% right. you should see some of the sycophantic comments by EK staff that got fired and complementing EK on social media, Linkedin etc as if EK gave them the chance of a lifetime - never knew it was better to be unemployed and stuck in a country that isn't mine with cash running out. When things get better, loads of them will be coming back with lesser T&C. they are sucking up now to get that access again - mark my word this will happen.
