7 resigned in July. 4 captains and 3 FOs.
4 resigned in August. 3 captains and 1 FO I believe.
The number of the resignations are real but the catergories might be a little off. If you are an EK pilot just go to crew portal and under rosters, click on DUTY and type in RG and that will show you (according to the company) how many have resigned. I can't imagine the company leaving this option there much longer because that will be to much information that the pilots have access to.
Also you can type in RR and that will show you who is off the roster or Removed from Roster. They have that 777 DEC who almost hit the barrier listed there.

LHR Rain,
We know your one of the many here who deserve your command,(sic)
but try and not be anymore of a REAL TOSSER than you all ready are.
Said captain DID NOT almost hit the barrier.
Get your facts straight, or go home and grow up!

3 Airbus Capts resigned last week.Warning given of the worst kept secret,more to come.
My numbers put the figure at 50 plus/minus 5 or so in last 18 months from both seats,both fleets.
Attrition of course,quite normal,Im sure the 25 applications a day will fill the gap and meet the expansion.

It's not a big secret, there are a total of 9 Airbus Captains (mostly trainers) resigning this month. They are off to the South African venture, initially flying Gulfstream G5's I believe. TCAS has been informed and they will all have their resignations in by the 3rd week in Sept.
Guess that will make things a trifle tight over the new year!

From a very good source, apparently the SA deal is very different to the rumours that have been floating around as obviously the boys dont want the real facts known yet. Wait and see what materializes. Why are most of the guys apparently ex SAAF DC3 drivers? Must be a good reason!

An african government are looking for ex DC3 lads to fly eight of their recently purchased a/c. Supposedly fitted out as gunships. Hence the ex SAAF drivers possibly? The GV is the code for a new hi tec type of canon specially adapted for side firing gunships. Yes, the boys will be operating GV's! Hope the money is good.

Apart from the ex 44 Sqn DC3 drivers.
2 Ex RAF Navy Helo sub hunters.
1 Mechkican with short field, jungle strip, night experience.
1 Multi-lingual Kraut with South American connections.
This is like a 60's war movie, all recruited for being good men who will never bitch, back-stab, dob-in or report their mates and are ALWAYS willing to meet for a beer or 10 after landing.
EK recruitement dept should take notes here.

Also fitted with armour plated gear bays, fuel cells and canvas control surfaces changed to light non flammable composite material. Not sure what has been done to the engines, anyone know. I'm sure they need something better than the strellar mods fitted previously? Hope there's a fridge for the beers on board!

I'll tell you why, FlyMD-12 : because I can unequivocally state, without fear of contradiction, that EK is a much better proposition than Outer Mongolian Airways (OMA) and at least on par with Turkmenistan International Air Services, not to mention a whole host of other less well-known carriers.
