Ghostflyer can you explain that one again.

I have several mates who have been to the roadshows in Oz and NZ...EK made a special presentation to ANZ pilots hoping to attract guys on 3 yr contracts who could then return to ANZ, but with the implicit hope from EK that a significant % would stay in EK. The roadshow in Oz was generic obviously.

The overwhelming reaction from several of my mates who went along was "They have got to be kidding"..and that was the reaction of others they spoke to during the presentations...quite apart from the disquiet one mate at ANZ expressed as to the reaction 'loaner' pilots from ANZ would solicit, and rightly so in his view, from the long term EK pilot body.

One very experienced jet C&Ter who went along out of curiosity suggested EK "clearly don't think there is a pilot shortage."

They were all just stunned at how pathetic the package was.

Bottom line is hang tough...the fat lady hasn't even cleared her throat yet.
