Extraordinary!, if what TCAS says is true then given that the number of active Airline pilots in the US is around 102,000, in just five weeks the equivalent of the entire Airline pilot population of the US has applied to join Emirates!! I never knew it was such a desirable company!
True, a 10% pay rise was given last year BUT given that underlying inflation in the UAE is conservatively 15-20% then this doesn't look so attractive anymore. Plus we are all working alot harder with the "cost neutral" (
) changes to the credit system and having to the recurrent groundschool etc in our own time.
A very informative article that doesn't really explain why flights are being grounded due to no flightdeck available to fly them, surely one of the 20,000 would be available?
