I wouldn't want to bet any money on that Outlaw. The company is truly desperate now and it is only going to get worse in the months ahead.
If the rumours are true there are some really troubling times for EK;
11% resignation rate.
FOs leaving in droves, at a much higher clip than Capts.
Dubai's astronomical inflation rate and it is only going to go higher w petrol rising 24% and VAT coming in at 7%. As an aside the company had to know these two items were in the works and still screwed us on the Pay Review.
No one qualified wanting to join EK.
1500 hr pilots are now eligible. What's next?
Over 50 pilots off on medical leave for heart problems. Does the company care? Only if they have to park airplanes.
Like I said Outlaw I wouldn't want to put any money on your statement. Plus I don't think too many Canadians or South Africans will leave no matter how much worse it gets here. I won't even mention the 3rd world pilots. They are in even if we fly 125 hrs a month for 50% less pay.
