Fellas the majority of the recent orders don't arrive until after 2020, and then most are replacements for aircraft already in the fleet.
We have been told a fleet of 240 to 250 by 2020, and we have 212 now. I believe that when aircraft retirements are taken from aircraft deliveries next year the fleet only grows by four aircraft. It has been rumoured that recruitment will stay around the 250 per year mark with a pilot group of 5000 by 2020.
Things can change, but not until they decide what is happening WRT to staying at DXB or moving to DWC.
