The 2.5 hours credit for a leave day along with any credit for the usual ground duties was binned a few years ago.

Last summer 18 days of leave, 59.2 hours.

Squawk…

I've heard the boys at EK are called into the office for too many sick days and threatened with their job…. "You may not be the type of pilot Emirates wants".

Ruling by fear and intimidation has its benefits… FOR MANAGEMENT!!

Can only talk from my own experience. But I was out of work for a few months and did not get a call whatsoever. Not even the slightes push to come and work in the office...

Leave
 

Hey guys,

If you do not use the entire 42 days until 31st March, can you use it after or you lost some days?

thanks :ooh:

It gets carried over.

3 weeks leave, flew 44 hours.
A total disregard for pilots. Why doesn't the company just come out and say they hate it's employees and especially it's pilots instead of doing all this underhanded and back door tactics?

92 hrs in 19 days after leave

We have a winner! Bet somebody got a Najam for that piece of rostering.:eek:

How many of you called SKF? Nothing will change if you keep flying rosters like that.

Fill out the form, its easy, and if you have a justified case you won't hear anything (speaking from my own experience)

Sick Fatigued
 

Called in sick fatigue as a trainer and 10 minutes later the phone rang and the supervisor offered me an off day. I told him no, show it as sick fatigued, since that is what I am. GCAA sees all sick fatigues........

Sick and SKF
 

WGU- It's not the number of days you are out sick that get you called in, it's the number of times you call in sick coupled with the number of days. If there is a pattern there would be a higher chance of getting called in. (Unless you are local.) The issue is, that asking for a brief written letter to tell them I ate something at their CR@ppy hotel in Africa twice this year and got the FLU once, would save me a half day trip to HQ. However, requiring me to come in on my day off to kindly explain myself is a slap in the face. Either you trust me or you don't. Which is it? Furthermore, I have also called SKF more than once. This was done on horrific schedules, and I was exceptionally tired. SKF needs to be used guys if that's what it is. Otherwise you are partly responsible for the unbelievable scheduling practices.

Camel
I buy that. As said, this was from my experience. Maybe I was not on their scope for other reason.

Advice
 

Hello guys!

I rather post here since you are ALL EK pilots and are already IN the company.

I am leaving from Boston tonight going to Dubai for interview 10-13 Nov.

I am from Panama, former QR pilot. Was flying a private jet for the last year and a half but currently unemployed for the last 2 months. Have 4 kids so really need to land this opportunity...

Any advice or info that can be helpful during my interview?

Thanks in advance

Hello colo

I assume you had been acquainted with the already available preparation sources online (thoroughly - you have no excuse )

Now you must be under tremendous stress but this can play to you advantage

Even if money is tight see to it that u have a catchy dark suit ( it says although I am unemployed but I have standards and self confidence and not here to get wide body hours and wave the flag )

The process is honest and straight forward as you are evaluated on your over all performance and compatibility

Be honest when you answer the psycho questions and during the interview with the psychologist - they can detect lies = no job

Make friends during your stay at the hotel with the other candidates .. Your group exercises will be greatly improved when you guys know and respect each other

Good luck

Thanks a lot!

Hope everything goes well...

Have a wonderful career here. I wish I could as well...
