No EY orders @ DXB
It seems very strange that EY have not gone ahead with aircraft orders at the DXB airshow....all its rivals have......hmmmm I wonder whats going on
Has Hogie had the purse strings cut?....or is another biggie about to be announced?

Crewing levels on the bus are still way off so maybe sense has prevailed...!
However it puts a bit of a dent in thier image as one of the big boys..EY & QR have shown who are the real players....and highlites the EY lack of vision and forward planning
There is also the rumour doung the rounds that they are looking at the old EK 777!....great for the image
Maybe GF have some old rustbickets we can buy!!!

Would he not have loved to bask in the glory of yet another strategic order.....tough love but it ain't goin' to happen.
I can just see the little BMI minstrels in the back waiting to line their pockets with add-ons from engine types to cabin interiors.
guess it will have to wait.....

Imagine you and your neighbour.
He just ordered himself a shiny new Merc for his wife and is looking to sell her two year old Cadillac.
Your wife wants a new car as well but you can't afford that shiny new Merc at the moment. You can however, afford their second hand Caddy. The problem is whether your wife would be willing to be seen driving around in her neighbours old car.
It's as simple as that

First time poster. Please bear with me as I try to understand the string.
AC's are on the ground? Without flight deck?? I may be not understanding something. The metal just does not show up overnight. Usually there is substantial lead times to prepare for deliveries. From what I understand the money is not the worst in the region. A myriad of errors are made for this type of oversite. Was there no planning for accommodations for projected numbers of crew, adequate number of schools? That is a direct result in poor planning and HR. No communication between the departments? In an accountable airline heads would role at the first loss of revenue. Revenue is the cornerstone to profits.....and profit share. I understand that sh##t happens but how does one explain to board members lost money that others are all too quck to capitalize on.

You have to be here for a while before you can even begin to even try to understand the "business" 
But to be fair. Before you "condemn" the players out here, based on your point of reference, you might want to explain all the bancruptcies, the huge losses, the operation of 40+ y.o. aircraft that occurs in your neck of the woods.

Sond,
It wasn't meant as a slag.
It's just impossible to understand (or even explain) the "business" unless you are "living the dream" out here. It is completely alien if you are trying to figure it out from a US, or to a slightly lesser extent a Euro, point of reference.

EK has been sending queries to current EY pilots who had previously applied asking if they were still interested
