FZ does not operate 100+ A380s, does it? People actually using the time off without pay to do something else is great. However the vast majority rely on a steady source of income to pay their bills. Not the best argument. Comparing EK with FZ is like comparing a small Indian takeaway next to a gas station with a Mcdonalds chain. They had to do what they had to and if FZ would have been 5 times bigger with the whole fleet grounded for almost a year I bet they would have done the same.
