Like I said, not first hand knowledge...but from a straighshooter, no-nonsense, no drama type of guy?
I know how false rumors go, but any comments on this? |
In five years at Emirates I have not had any problem with pay that wasn't sorted out by the next month. The pay scale is published and set so it would be really difficult to believe that the company hasn't lived up to it's pay arrangement.
In regards to schedule, there are occasional changes to the published roster. Key word being occasional. When it happens you are not pay protected like at a union airline in the States. Generally it equals out over the long run. I lost a few hours last month due to a change, but I'm making more back this month due to a similar change. Both occasions were changes to the trip on the same day.
