Just to make this argument a bit simpler for us mere mortals, could the people concerned please answer the following:
1. Does EK actually state in writing, when one gets their command, or it's a given from previous guys or common practice ?
2. What delay are we talking about, when you say Airbus command delayed ?
3. How is EK going to/should crew the arriving A380 and B777 coming literally at one each month per aircraft for the next two year l think without recruiting DEC's ?
I think these and other questions might shed some light on the plight of the concerned parties.............and maybe we could sympathise with you.
