IMHO,KQ should fire the employees & start afresh. In the meantime,they can use their partner airlines as well as wet leases to fly for the next 3 months. The unions killed GM & Chrysler... while Toyota does not allow unions in the USA...

If yes,are the employees unionised? Greedy when others are fearful,Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase WB Greedy when others are fearful.

Just getting into the Emirates programme is a nightmare. @bushy: I can confirm that those are the actual figures as of now with a slight increase in the allowances from 70$ to 90$ and house allowance of 14k. Come to think of it these guys get good money. See this: 25k retainer. Assuming a guy does the maximum overnight allowed (i.e. 12 nights), that is another 84k. Add house allowance of 14k and tips (if you are nice) of about $200 over the whole month, that adds up to a total of nearly 140k! That's not bad! Methinks, the reason why they are complaining so loudly is their lifestyles. Go to their parking lots and you will see what I mean. Ask them where they live and you'll be surprised! @GG: Yes. The raises are backdated but it is 10% from 1 July 2008 and the next 10% from 1 July 2009. This includes also house allowance! Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time!

They travel the world and see how the developed world lives and its only natural for them to want to replicate it at home,with meagre resources though jer 29:11

Ati just because Atwoli made some noise and sang some war dance and circumcision songs, they now believe that KQ management is shaking in their boots and they are secure in their jobs! Watashagaa! Smallest indiscretion and they'll be out! Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time!

Rank: Member Joined: 10/26/2007 Posts: 31		I think the increament was a raw deal . Compare 10% to the rate of inflation (over the same period),i know it will hit atleast 25%,in addition,the tax man takes 30% of their raise so they sure got an increament of 7%. Naikuni will sure have more reasons on KQ's non performance. Smooth
