The pay & conditions will improve here (I'm guessing by about 10%+)
Whilst I would love to see that, it's simply not going to happen. 10% across the board for pilots would comfortably push the salary cost up by another 40 million USD per year (and thats me being conservative with my 'back of the fag packet' calculations).
I don't want to be seen as negative but simply being a realist. There will of course be a EK in the years ahead and that is certain but in what size and shape that EK will develop into, is less certain.
