Stop worrying about the TP guys. Lowered requirements doesn't mean that they will hire the first one who will show up. In my opinion it's even a smart strategy from EK because now they have a bunch of new profile and won't miss some good guys who have high potential but doesn't have the famous 2k hours jet time.
Remember, younger you are higher is your willingness to learn.
Off course they have to adapt the assessment and training policy with regard to this new parameter....however I don't have any doubt about that.
Is that enough to solve all the problem quoted here about EK working conditions? I'm not sure but anyway I hope for joining guys that it is just the first step. Anyway they have to find a sustainable solution with this massive resignation...and they will do because they don't have any choice.
All the bets guys!
