Gentlemen,
It's a shame on/for EKs if their training department is short of quality instructors. And it's a shame/disgrace on their HR and Fleet Managers if those quality people haven't been identifited or recruited.
Going forward, it would appear as though EK will need to recruit and train hundreds of new hires for a type rating. Somewhere in their thought process one would think Instructors would be a high priority.
They can hire as many pilots as they like, at the end of the day, they won't fly the line til they've all been trained.
That ain't news, but that too, is reality.
good luck,
Willie
