I have done a "quick" calculation on Boeing numbers only as it will be the fastest growing fleet in EK.
Currently we have 600 Captains and 630 F/Os (APPROXIMATELY)
Currently we have 77 Boeings.
My calculations are that we have 7.7 Capt and 8.0 F/Os per aircraft.
If 10 more aircraft were to be delivered this year and NO more recruitment was done, we would then have 6.8 Capt and 7.0 F/Os per aircraft.
If the same ratio (7.7 and 8.0) was to be maintained, then an additional 70 Capts and 80 F/Os would be needed this year.
So make you minds up guys what will happen.
