The problem is there are only a few competent managers in EK and I dont think they do recruiting!
I do however agree that hiring furloughed US pilots is not the answer, it might help short term to fill seats but they need to start planning a little more long term. Train guys like EK and stop looking for the easy option everytime!
Hogan needs to realise that saving a few pence today is not a longterm recruitment plan...give the recruitment people the green light to put something more substantial in place....stop thinking about your bonus for once!
