Been tried before Trimotor, with no success whatsoever.
Some pilots like nothing better than to complain.
If it isn't the pay, it's the working conditions, or crappy management...even the hosties aren't friendly.
Gee, what a surprise...it's a
business, not a pleasure palace.
You gain experience, then apply to a larger carrier flying nice shiney new jet aircraft...and presto, some feel that they are now
experts in airline management, rest requirements, and recruitment policy
Now, what EK
needs to do is raise the pay slightly (or...more than slightly), and the complaints would disappear like frost off new mown grass.
Maybe throw a few upgrade logs on the fire as well.
What I suspect they will do is...keep the malcontents in the RH seat where they belong (until they learn how not to complain) and hire
new experienced longhaul types, at
higher pay to carry the load that the present guys are unsatisfied with.
'Tis called MiddleEast policy, and has been the same since God made little green apples.
And, it ain't gonna change anytime soon.
Just the way it
IS.
New(er) guys learn slightly slower these days, it would appear.
