Have the EK management and support staff been culled in proportion to the relative numbers of pilots and cabin crew dismissed? Not forgetting engineers of course.
And has the employee reduction programme finished for the moment? (I guess not many can answer that right now, but rumours will be circulating)
My sympathy to all who have lost their jobs, and possibly their careers. I have family out in Dubai, and know just what an unforgiving place it can be for non-Emiratis.
It is indeed a tough world out there.
