EK payrise - finally?
 

Have heard from several sources the last few days that management "announced" a payrise in the neighbourhood of 10 - 15% in january at an instructors meeting a few days ago. Anyone??

- About bloody time if you ask me!
- Not even close to enough to stop the flow of people leaving or help us 3yr+ guys that look to be delayed for appx a year before we can enjoy captains pay on the Airbus fleet. That alone costs me some Dhs 100.000.-

:hmm: Birdieonfirst

PAYRISE!!!

10 to 15 percent!!

NO CHANCE :=

More chance of hell freezing over!

Forget this JAN payrise crap!! IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!!:ugh:

Once a bunch of tight wads always a bunch of tight wads!!:E

Personally I think it's just false rumours put out by certain people to keep people hanging on for a little while longer

it's the annual xmas rumour, I hear it every year

Nope, this was told at a training meeting on Monday, believe it or not!!! :suspect: By the head of training, HAH.

But i'll believe it when i see it in my pay cheque.

SyB :zzz:

Unless it comes from Idle or above, then its only rumor. Head of training, although connected has zip influence over pay.

Personally i have seen it all before, the rumor, promise of better things to come, string as many as possible along for a few months then announce 5% plus increment in May.

Pleeeease...
 

Why can't you guys indulge me for once? Let me live in the hope anyway! (Nothing else good seem to be happening anyway...)

Fellas....Relax!

Its true....EK is increasing salaries by 30 per cent in 2007!

No, not quite 30%.

Base salary levels for all pilot grades will be increased by 27%, wef from 1st January 2007. The overnight allowances will be recalculated utilising an hourly duty rate, rather than calculated in local currencies. The housing / utilities allowance will increase by 10% effective July. The annual pay review will include another 3% (27+3=30, hence the 30% rumour)

EkPilots,
what kind of tabacco di you use in your shisha tonight? and more important where did you find it? Maybe some is still available for me.....................:D :}

And BTW tell your pusher that the stuff is giving you is very good:}

Yeah - right...

Nice to see, someone still believes in Santa. 30% - my foot:D

If this was going to be effective 1st Jan wouldn't they have announced it by now? Then again, if they can't even get the rosters out on time...

Hi Guys

A very merry xmas and a very safe new year to you all:cool: ....... and for those that dont believe in Santa := .....surely he must be real if we get a 27% payrise this year.

guys.....sorry to dissapoint you all.... but Santa doesnt live in the North pole with millions of Elves....nor does he work for EK.:E

He stopped coming to my place when I was about 7 or 8 yrs old

Off to the beach fellas ...... for my xmas and new year break.

Be Safe

TR:ok:

Off the pay issue, if you a 3 year airbus f/o and you think you are going to wait another year for an upgrade you must have failed math....look at the numbers and start thinking of 2 years extra:*

Goatherd, please explain as you seem to have insider knowledge. Have you considered all the AB captains (42) that are going over to the cripple 7, plus the ones that are leaving ( I think 5 or 6 in Jan alone)

:ugh: ... I hope none of you rumour mongers are sidetracked at the CBC for a random drug test... :rolleyes:

Eight Captains showing on the resignation list for Jan.

Mostly Airbus, but across the board including long termers, recent upgrades and DECs. All now deciding that EK is not for them.

Just wait till the 30% increase comes out and they will all withdraw the resignations..:}

Rumour confirmed...
 

Finally got an answer from the horses mouth (He he h..ED...)
It's not 30% but 0,30% pay increase. Glad we got that settled once and for all...:rolleyes:
