They won’t be able to fly anywhere near half the fleet be end of the year - simple because not enough pilots
without ULR the crew factor is around 5 and pre COVID it was 9 (including ULR) so make the math
without contracting a massive amount of pilots there will be no „most of the fleet flying“
for the hiring process itself takes a month to set it up, 2 month to get a reasonable amount of people throu the pipeline, 1 month to make them move and 4 month to put to the line - no way to be achieved until the end of the year as it’s not even open to apply - so it will stay a rumor coming from the propaganda department
And on top the the most critical areas of bussiness like India, Asia, Australia, parts of Africa and because of this regions EK will face a strong headwind as the world knows or don’t know how Pax checked and treated on there way passing Dubai
