Rumours are rife of 6 "unplanned" A340's. To date nothing has been signed as the said aircraft have a few peculiarities which would mean a substantial investment to get them in line with the rest of the EK Airbus fleet.
If DE Capt's come, (and I'd rather work overtime every month than see that) previous experience will certainly be a major criteria, I wonder where they'll fit in to the grand scheme of things and on what salary scale they will join? 1st year Capt?
Time will tell.....
