FAA is coming to the sand
Have you heard the latest? The FAA is coming next month to investigate the GCAA and their practices. What this means for Emirates is that the factoring is over and they will have to hire 1100 pilots and not 750. Anyone out there once you apply you are almost guaranteed to be hired.
But hold the phone. Recruitment department says that they can only get 350 pilots for the fiscal year. What to do?
Emirates is trying to rush the double dailes to IAH and LAX before the FAA comes and stops the new flights. Can the airline that does not honour contracts and treats its employees like a commodity pull this one off?
AAR is to blame for not hiring pilots the last year but that is assuming that the pilots would have come anyway. Only pilots I know that are coming are the ones out of jobs.
The company has already cancelled leave in October. It is just begining.
