Is it too early to rate the Jetstar recruitment drive as a moderate success? Seems to compare favourably with EKs recruiting roadshows in the US, UK and Oz (wasn't Oz cancelled due lack of interest?).
Names I've heard mentioned that are expected to appear on the RG list soon are all in the high increment 10-15 year seniority group.
Of course the bean counters/pen pushers will love this. Unloading a significant number of high earners in short order. Back in the 90s TCLARK proposed getting rid of all the 12+ year guys because they cost too much. The HFO (less spineless than the present incumbent) put him straight.
The further delay to the arrival of the 380 will give EK time to catch up on recruitment (South America still not exhausted as a source of non English speaking pilots).
Bottom line? No likely improvements to the EK package in the foreseeable future.
