Emirates slow down ?

Seems the rapid expansion has finally hit the logistics wall with aircraft and courses (DEC and upgrade incuded) being deferred...

Would think twice: still posting around for pilots, DECs and FOs.

More of a question FF, but the fact remains that 2005 aircraft have been deferred and courses delayed despite the advertising drive. Also seems from other threads that new applicants are holding quite a while for offers...perhaps more of a lull to catch a breath than an RTO.

So, lots of aircraft and apparently no slow down; you would think/hope that if we have learnt any lessons the training system would use all available slots to get ahead of the game & not putting courses off? Regardless, I have still heard concerning rumours that more aircraft will slip from the original delivery dates as mentioned above.
