Maybe their target is A320 pilots from Europe LCC's and then they will simply be a feeder to EK & QTR...
from what I hear, they want to be bigger than their competition such as QR and EK
starting with a320 they aiming for a luxury long haul operation. LH operation will focus on 3 types (787,777x and 350)
they are definitely not going to be feeder for someone else.
as rumors say starting line for long haul is within 2 years from now
as I mentioned rumors. According to some post the high budget they like to deliver looks like going big and not only 320 fleet as feeder.
i also hear their is a lot interest of ME3 pilots, as well as some fear from them to loose pilots to it, as some measures have been taken to keep employees who have rejoined or joined recently. If it will be enough - we’ll see.
let’s see what they come up with
