Ryanair well EK could fill the whole 777 fleet I’m sure. Close to a 1000 Ryanair pilots working notice. Qatar and EK the top places for FOs. Captains bit tough to go from LHS okish position to RHS. Ryanair might not have got rid of pilots during the pandemic but they didn’t pay salaries either and paying less than pre pandemic now so people just fed up.
UK wise most only see BA as a step up.
Wrong again. No one has left Virgin in the last 5 years to join EK. From BA you could count the number on one hand.
Try to stop making up the story as you go along.
