From what I hear habibis, lots of headless chickens on the upper floors of the bouncy castle, all blaming each other for the current shambles.
Apparently, the Turboprop guys thing has been vetoed by the bossman. Its 777 DECs back on, this will be fun to watch. Thinking is that the 777 is a more "attractive" type than the A330 is. Some of these people just don't get it, DEC's = floodgates open for 777 F/Os leaving.
Also, was told current attrition rate is near 11%, however anyone over 50 leaving is regarded as Retiring, so its actually in Emirates speak only 3.8%
Interesting times ahead, what with more flights, less pilots, more aircraft, less pilots.
