I'll give you a taste of all the rumours flying around the Gulf:
EK is getting rid of 5 A330s (might move south)
EY is not getting its 2 A320s
EK realised its A380 makes more money sitting than flying, will eventually stop receiving after 12 units ..... (might be converted to A350s)
FlyDubai is on very, very low steam (might serve 2 airports on a different name once started)
EK is retraining some local A380 skippers back to the A330 (will have to work on this plane)
EY and EK are in advanced talks of cooperation (Emirates United)
Heavy stuff, now try to make a decent picture of it --
I can't at the moment, but I would assume recruitment will be heavily affected.
