I was in the training college recently and there seemed to be a little doom and gloom amongst the trainers and 3 of the pilots I saw were leaving the company. One had no job to go to which is a departure from the norm.
Whilst I was there I also saw the red shirted newbies. The thought that struck me was that they were all happy, excited to be in Dubai, excited to join the company and looking forward to going flying.
I then heard from a TRE that this week there were 16 recruitment sim slots, 5 were filled and only 1 passed the sim. That should help improve the seniority list.
So back to the newbies, the next thing that struck me was how the hell does the company manage to destroy the goodwill and youthful exuberance of these vibrant young people in less than 3 years. If Emirates really wants to solve its issues that is the conundrum that must be solved. Childish bullying, ridicule and intimidation don't seem to have worked, maybe respect, trust and maturity will pay more dividends!
