That's right Compressor Stall.
EK are screaming for pilots and very short already, with 777 crew >90 hours/month and not enough A380 crew for the runs those airframes currently service... pity they laid off so many. Meanwhile, resignations per month are still in the dozens and their recruiting department was also laid off during Covid so can't respond immediately.
Asian airlines are booming domestically especially Vietnam which also has recruitment underway in a few airlines... Tiawan too. Korean has already called back some foreigners and "the big 3" in China look to be doing the same before July, not including the many who remained there of course.
All the global freight giants (UPS/FEDEX/ATLAS etc) are recruiting which is great if you have USA access, while a few new start-ups in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe are racing to fill the void of a global population that refuses to be restrained.
You'd be well advised to keep your eye on foreign news portals, as virtually none of this "good news" is shown in Australia's LameStream Media!
Happy Landings
