Does anyone know who the chief pilot of the Bus fleet is at EK? We haven't heard anything from him/her, nor anyone else really, and I am hoping they are all ok.
Thought I should send an email to check on how they are going, and update them on how the pilot group is going. A great chance to interact with the pilot group.....wasted. Must be too busy checking sick days and productivity stats. |

EchoKiller -
The fact that I still sit here in DXB wishing myself I dont get that "call".... |
The guy now is a real loser ! Shocking they made him CPA., but then again. They want a YES man and they got a winner. Absolute clueless individual.

They didn’t say that. Expect both.

50% basic cut extended for a further 3 months. Any adjustments to other benefits?

Not that I have heard. I have to say that I do think that EK have handled the situation pretty well so far when compared to other airlines around the globe. The sliding scale of pay reductions from 50% for management grade and 25% for the rest with no cuts for those on the bottom of the scale who can least afford it. At least no layoffs apart from those on probation - hopefully things will pick up enough to prevent any future job losses.
I hope the banks will continue to show some flexibility with debt repayments for those affected. |

No I'm trying to stay away from the office. But the fact that most meeting rooms are booked with most still working from home to me means something is about to happen. I don't expect a big announcement rather just the first thing people will hear is when they get asked to come in for a meeting.

... Another batch of e-mails for several pilots for a meeting with flight ops...
|
Word on the wire is 599 more redundancies. Commiserations if true
|
Looks like majority A380 but also some 777 are affected
|
Good luck everyone and look after each other.

There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the guys who have had the letters. Many senior guys who have apparently good records.

no it really seems like they’ve just chosen mostly at random although anybody with warning letters or attendance issues (justified or not) seems to all have been selected

Firstly thoughts to the people getting the letters, absolutely horrible.
But you say lots of senior guys, are they also older? Although completely not fair, it would make sense from a business point of view to get rid of people close to retirement. Rather than someone with many years of service left. To be clear not endorsing anything, just trying to see if there is any logic, rather than completely random |
It is unlikely that the people cutting your pay checks have failed to notice that they can have two new captains for the price of one who is at the top of the scale. To avoid any nasty last in/first out squabbles all they have to do is the rescind the work-to-65 policy or even reduce the madatory retirement age to 58 or so.

Guys in early 50s with letters

So about 270 probation flight crew and another 600 today giving almost 900 - what proportion of the total FC workforce is that?. Were the original rumors of 30% redundancies correct?

Don't forget the mask and the dress code as the email says. :ugh: apparently it’s everybody with more than min pay so far „we take care of our employees after 31 years of consecutive profits, the well being is important“ and there will be 32nd year with a lot of dead bodies in the basement what’s clear is that new hires will not a 25k base and not anything like we know as benefits |
https://smashnewz.com/emirates-layin...ts-and-pilots/
A few weeks ago I wrote rumors that Emirates Airline would start laying off employees and I was considering grounding much of the A380’s fleet permanently. Although we do not yet know about the future of the A380 fleet, Emirates is today informing a significant number of flight attendants and pilots who are about to end. EMIRATES BEGINS MASS LAYOFFSA couple of weeks ago Emirates fired newly hired flight attendants and pilots who had recently completed training or were still trained. Today the airline took job cuts to the next level, including the layoff of many employees who had been with the company for a long time.Based on my sources, e-mails were sent to many flight attendants and pilots late at night, informing them that they had to attend mandatory meetings today at Emirates training college. It appears that the airline has essentially engaged in group layoffs. When people arrived at training college, their names were removed from a list and assigned a room. Once the room was filled, there was a quick meeting informing everyone that they were going to be closed:
OTHER EMIRATES EMPLOYEES GET 50% WAGES REDUCTIONSThis week’s news for Emirates employees goes beyond closed news. Many company employees who are still in employment receive a 50% reduction in their base salary between July 1 and September 30, 2020.Over the past two months, the company has reduced wages for many frontline employees by 25%, but now that amount is increasing. For flight attendants, the reduction in real wages is greater than 50%:
BOTTOM LINEMy thoughts are with all those of Emirates today who are losing their jobs. It is especially difficult when you get fired after moving somewhere for a job, with no chance of staying. Many people have built lives in Dubai, now they are forced to leave them behind.In the end we don’t know how many people Emirates fired and we may not know for a while. Also, the odds are that we will see more layoffs in the coming weeks, as it would appear that they are making layoffs in stages. First they fired those still in training, then they fired those who had performance problems and who knows which group would be next … |

A "great company" indeed... The only thing great about this company is the staff who have endured many years contributing to the company's repeated success and then are treated like used rags and kicked out the doors without any showing of grace or gratitude. Girls and Guys invested their lives at this ungrateful company and certainly should be shown more respect from these megalomaniacs. Years of loyal service chopped for petty warnings (in most cases) and genuine sicknesses (many from over-working)! God help these maniacs and hope we never forget next time they need to recruit...

I really don't think EK could have handled today any worse. Very disrespectful to the fellas and girls that were led into the slaughterhouse.
Ladies and gents I am lost for words for what happened today and how you were treated. |
