I imagine EDI might be on EK's radar once the B787-10s start arriving but that's still a few years off...

Quite, I've read a few comments online now bemoaning this decision but then shouting for the suspension of FR ops and closure of PIK. Bit hypocritical...
As horrible as any job losses are, there's no way that number is going to be 300 from this move, that's just FR with their usual grossly exaggerated numbers. Air crew will be reassigned and any ground crew reductions will ideally be restricted to fixed term contracts that would terminate at end of S18 anyway.
