Well, let's go back to the thread title.

If eventually they will bring back to fly almost all 380s, then there will be no axing of ½ of the FD+CC. Isn't that good news for us? It will be Dubai Inc that has to bear the losses and, honestly, who cares? We want our colleagues back on the payroll, don't we? Most probably a thinner one, but at least one.

There are two scenarios:
1. They got it right, the traffic rebounds, they make profits again, they might buy empty slots of economical airliners and send the 380s to the desert as flower pots. Jobs remain, the only thing will be to fight back for decent T&Cs.
2. They got it wrong, the traffic remains low, huge losses and Dubai pulls the trigger. A second round of mass staff culling starts, the 380s become flower pots as do a couple of old 777 and EK will go into GulfAir oblivion.

If you're still here, or if you get recalled, Nice, enjoy. But just be prepared for the eventual scenario 2.
