EK is desperately shopping for engg staff, they will drop the plans for a MCT maint base and move all maintenance to DXB. You never know they might start locating major corrosion on these B767 only to ground them

IMHO i don't see any value addition to EKs fortunes with the buyout of SRT. They cannot pay the Swiss and Irish engineers EU wages to work in DXB and at the same time they wont send EK aircrafts to EU with the monsterous (8 x A380 bays) hangar they have constructed in DXB. Ah we'll see what do they have up their sleeve this time
