Wall Street Journal article on EK crewing problem.

Lowstandard, some time ago I raised the crewing ratio that EK were using per airframe to the then CPB. His response was hilarious. It is, supposedly, a very complicated calculation that I simply would not understand.
In other words they had NO plan as to the real required crewing ratio then, so the chances of them having one now is between slim and sweet FA.

Wheels wobbling on the wagon??? The wheels are in that dust cloud behind you. The wagon is being dragged on the axle, if you ask me.

just a small, slightly out of context question...

i have been reading loads of articles on racial/passport discrimination as far as salaries are concerned in dubai. To what extent is this prevalent for pilots in EK?

Double daily BOS ain't going to help matters!

Has anyone actually told the people who are organising these flights, how many pilots they have ( or have not ) got?

CALMCAVOK, It seems to have no affect on pilots, unless you are a local.

The ground staff have a different situation though........
