Rather fascinating that several in the company are spouting Pprune as the reason for the pilot shortage at EK. I too heard the same thing from an office staff individual.
My guess is this: They (mgt/office staff) must have been told/given word to "blame Pprune" as this is the 3rd or th time I've heard this. So it seems this is the latest actions by EK.
As always… it's always someone else's fault.
Are they really this blind that they can't figure out what the actual issues are for flight crew??? Good grief….
