What's going on? Lots and lots of people leaving. Markets back home are picking up, people tired of the rosters and costs in Dubai.
It is my perception they are cancelling long thin routes as they are heavy on crew hrs and we don't have enough crew. Couple that with a poor performing Russian market.
Something has to be done, big time, to save the upcoming expansion or there will be no one to fly these aircraft, especially left hand seat. This place can be sooo nice with just a few tweaks of the system. It has the potential but so far lacking the initiative.
Lots of talk behind the scenes on how to save this. But talk is just talk...
