On Facebook news this morning EK went to SAS and asked to receive a number of SAS pilots that are about to be re-trenched. That way SAS doesn't have to lay off any pilots and EK solves its very short term attraction problems. It didn't say how many pilots would be involved in the transaction but I can't see more than 50 SAS pilots wanting to come to EK even if they don't have a job. The unemployment package in Scandinavia is fantastic and we all know what Emirates is about.
