Can't confirm but I guess I am not the only one who changed the size of my buckets...almost full..

​​​​Happy to see any grass on the other side, even if it is not green....way better than sand. Halas.

Well your comment is appropriately timed it seems. :O

Better get it stamped while you can!

Anyone any idea why the rosters are out so late??
Also no contract revision details out, when do they normally send it out?

Wow, you mean you guys get more than a weeks notice for next months roster? I'm(QR) jealous.

Both were answered in company emails.

Must have missed the one explaining late rosters! Hard to find the info from all the other propaganda they send out!

What about EK’s incredible 5% payrise?! No celebration? Come on guys….

There was a celebration

EK are so generous we don’t get a yearly increment automatically, it has to be graciously authorized.. For a number of years it wasn’t given so we got no increment or step ie base salaries were not increased even though we got a small pay rise. For info base salaries are what end of service pay etc are based on.
This pay rise is actually a step on the base salary (3%) plus a pay rise of 2%.
So yes 5% which they said was to cover increased cost of living. Dubai claims inflation is 5%, however for those of us here the real inflation figure is probably closer to 10% possibly more which is reflected in day to day expenses, so 5% is a slap in the face really! It should have been 10% minimum - a step of 3% plus 7%!

We don't even get the full 5%. There has been no increase to flight pay or overtime (never mind the laughable day off payment) for several years now so while the office workers will be 5% better off every month, we won't.

Heard that a lot of engineers going to or have applied to RIA.

Anybody share details A380 crew having to stay onboard aircraft after diversion as no hotels available.

Apparently some people don’t know but I’ve been told MH ( he who took enforced break at Qatar) will be chief trainer on EK A350! Doing the EK version of the manuals in office at moment!.
He did his CRM recently, sat a back of class, on his own laptop working away adding an occasional smart arse remark in way of contribution!
now who’s going to bid for the A350!!!

That should be fun!!!

I would love to know how he keeps his position. In my opinion…he is a incompetent, sexist, bully. But that’s just me.

He stays because if wasta!
was told when young at gulf air he shared house with one of the young sheiks ( can’t remember but think it was one from - Abu Dhabi but live to be corrected!)
that’s why he’s built proof!

Heard recently EK in discussions to stretch 77x (can’t remember the designation!) to include space for a bar between first and business.

Also EK in discussion with airbus about who is going to pay for repairs due to cracks where two wing spars are joined . That is a major repair.

Also apparently we’ve met profit target already!

Glad that rumor was true! Now to see how much more we make over busy winter season.

As an outsider, how is your profit share dictated?

From a reliable source my friend was told Forecasted 28 weeks bonus next year with current trend.
