Who will fly the A380 for EK?
Recently saw pictures of the Emirates-painted A380 flying at Dubai (airshow). Beautiful looking aircraft I must say.
So, who will likely crew the A380 initially? Will the pilots be sourced from the:
1. A330/A340 due to Airbus experience
2. 777
3. External hires (perhaps high-time American retirees)
Any thoughts? Will it instead be based on seniority order? Given its limited use in terms of suitable airfields, would this even be a popular aircraft to fly (maybe 6-10 routes served total)?
When is the first EK A380 slated to arrive and what is the delivery rate?
Cheers
