If you plan on 5-6 years and it happens sooner, be happy.
LR3 is correct 2200 pilots now would be @ 43-4400 before an upgrade, 4-500 new hires a year might be the most EK can produce( cockpit 4u was a failed attempt at 3rd party training)
Do keep in mind not all new airplanes are additions to the fleet, retirements have started.
