Employment freeze
I feel for you Pinkylicious. You and many other people who wanted to join EK must be extremely disappointed after receiving the dreaded letter. Even though EK is financially much better off than many other airlines that does not mean that EK has not been affected by the economic crisis. Revenues have fallen by a large margin - the airline is not making as much money as it used to. Therefore, economics dictates that the airline must cut it's costs to balance it's books. Unfortunately, this means that recruitment has had to be stopped for the moment amongst other measures. Hopefully, things will improve and then the company will be able to hire more people. Wishing you and all the people out there who wanted to join all the very best of luck. I hope that things improve for you all.
