Boys,Girls - Now is the time to keep that money firmly embeded in your wallet. The "PS3Game" that is RYR is now coming very much to an end. EK have opened their doors to all and sundry, and are heavily targeting RYR Capts. for sure from hereon in - this means that although new crews will be required, as mentioned this will be a much slower pace - why ? well, among other things, all the training guys that RYR have and who are excellent at what they do, will be sorely tempted to go and enjoy working for EK, leaving a huge swathe of new guys to train, and no way of doing it - which means that any new recruit will be left with a large gap in the bank account, a shiny 737-800 rating and no way to earn decent money to pay back the loan, and very little or no flying. IMHO this is where the RYR business plan will now either adapt and change, or die. Keep your money in your wallets, and let the RYR management sweat and comeup with better offers to tempt the right people.
