"Emirates has decided to recruit its future pilotbody from the South-East pilot pool, as this guys from Malaysian Srilanka etc will be eager to come so no problem filling bums in seats. EK got lucky yet again with this horrible Tsunami catastrophy as those regions have been hard hit and enough pilots from Indonisia and Malaysia will be willing to come by the droves. For them even with the new T&Cs they will be happy."
If the terms and conditions now seem good for guys (some with heavy metal EK type) from SE Asia, it must have been a windfall if they had a chance to come years ago.
Certainly don't need a tsunami to encourage them to come.
Don't get me wrong - they don't wish for any erosion in T & C's - they already have that back home.
Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru
