EY Troubles

Just heard that the holding pool for new pilots has been dismissed. Makes no sense since this does not cost them. Anyone know why?

Could be because latest scuttle butt says that all new entrants will be going to A320, contrary to what those in the pool may have been interviewed for. The company is deeply in debt so who knows what they are up to.....

320

They are 320 drivers that have been released. And now with the 400 cabin crew being relieved. One wonders. Any news on aircraft cancellations?

no cancellations may be some 'delays', the 400 will be those with poor sickness records etc. As far as operation goes EY is applying 1 per 50 thus 1 crew per aircraft can be ditched...belt being tightened so that JH and others will command their management salaries. 300 million the wrong side of the balance sheet must be addressed...hahaha

There are a few guys in the B777 holding pool now. Does it look like they won't be taken on now?

I really don't know where you guys are getting all your info from? We are starting to recruit again (A320 now and A330 soon) and with the exception of some cabin crew who were sacked due to no shows and other incidents, they are certainly nowhere near 400. More like 10 or so.
I was told about recruitment from one of our Chief Pilots and about the sacking of Cabin crew directly from one of the Cabin Crew Supervisors.

I certainly am not one to try and defend the management (see my posts on the Etihad bonus) but I know there are a lot of guys who have applied or are interested in applying so lets not give them duff gen.

Sorry old boy but the thinking is "your lucky to have a job" I guess they will argue your lucky to be getting any proportion of school fees. Lets face it guys we took the Sheik's shilling oops Dirham now we are owned by the UAE. If you have seen RH's recent email now the airline wants to mature and in order to mature it has to sack, sorry not renew 400 contracts for cabin crew.
The exodus of flight deck has started and some of the trainers have voted with their feet, so I guess the operation is becoming more economical.
We have to streamline and pull our belts in, that way RH and the others can sustain their rather large pay checks and management bonus's.
Iachieve a streamlined, slick operation. I guess the guy in the RHS could pop out and help with the service, after all we are the world's leading airline and passengers fly with the best which must include muti-tasking!
If they want to help mature the company get rid of the dead wood at the top people who get paid in excess of 65000DHS a month ditch 10 or 20 of them and up go the profits!
