Guess EK are finding increasingly difficult to build rosters without enough pilots to fly their planes. Sign of the times. AS keeps telling us we have plenty of pilots. He must work for a different company......or on another planet..
If you consider that we are all down around 10 annual leave days and there's 3818 of us doing around 200 days work a year we need 190 more crew just to give 42 days annual leave next year!
