What could happen to leave them off guard like that

did someone throw the towel?? did they not agree on the perks ??
Commuting in my opinion is unlikely as they received 10K applications.
To be continued...
Airlines like to throw those numbers thinking they have leverage. In fact they have not much and they should be well aware of that.
Out of those 10k applications I can bet 95% are just dreamers.
Can give you my statistics from 5 different assessment groups for QR. Each 20-25 guys showing up and one guy in every second group was 787/777TRed captain...
More might apply as there is plenty in the ME alone but only to find out the T&Cs.
RIA would need to offer at least 25k-30k usd for a local contract to even think about getting anyone already settled in the desert with their family by the sea line.
Commuting contract would attract as many as they need.
