Hey Mick Jagger, you say:
"I here that at a recent high level event. EK admitted that they are now reaching crisis level due to number of guys leaving and poor responce to advertisements"
It is strange for me to read your post! I have over 7500 hrs experience including over 3000 hrs of that on heavy wide body, but yet (after 6 months) I am still waiting for even an acknowledgement from EK that they have received my application! If in deed they are looking for pilot, why are they not acknowledging aplication from experienced applicants?
Just wandering I guest!
