If this is all true:
Lets re-assess if EK still need the big ladies who are in the pipeline, cancel a few if needed to start with.
Look where we stand with pilot hiring, cancel a few more aircraft maybe, if we cant crew them.
Create rest among the guys on the line. Get your sh!t together, show goodwill.
Stop putting water into a bucket which is leak at the bottom. Stop the freakin' leak first.
We are trained to make decisions, and then re-assess. If a company is focussed on the wrong things too long, it looses the whole picture, and dives down in a spiral dive. Thats where we are now.
If they don't then why not have Korean, Vietnam, China Southern etc doing roadshows in EGHQ. Thats a way to fill up the atrium with pilots!
