There hasn't been any news on layoffs with EVA. They laid off a lot of guys after Sep 11th which was a shame. CAL however does not take the same approach. CAL does not lay off pilots in situations such as this.
There are a few rumoura around Taipei that EVA may lay off pilots but time will tell. Good to see the war over because that would certainly have done something for lay offs I guess.
Taipei hasnt really been hit hard by SARS. It certainly isnt a time to be out of work so hang on to your jobs in S/E Asia chaps.
All the best
