Getting back on topic....

There has been a rumor that EK is going to (or perhaps has already) make an additional 550 pilot redundant at the end of August. Does anyone know if there is any merit to this?

Also, what has been the total number of pilots let go so far? Are the redundancies and the 22 hours duty day connected somehow? Are there any other occupations other than surgeons that allow for this or does EK think they're clever somehow? There will come a day where the last sounds heard on the CVR will be snoring.
