The lack of leadership leaves me lost for words. On the plus side, more leave available but with another global recession on the horizon I'm blown away by the fact this place could even consider 1 more A380 let alone 20 🙄

Myfriend here inTHY just received an email saying his B777 is delayed. Please accept our apologies!
Its hard to believe how quickly the employment situation can suddenly swing the other way in aviation .
A bit like the UK election today.
What next , EK layoffs or unpaid leave ?

I hope you're more decisive in the cockpit than you are in career decisions. Less than 4 months ago you were telling us that EK was of no interest to you, an airline more suited to African and Asian applicants.
Now you'd like to join us and sit next to Don?

What I meant to say was My friends 777 course has been posponed indefinitely for undisclosed reasons. Please log in it and keep us updated of your situation.
Looks like the brakes are on recruitment?
FYI : THY = Turk Hava Yollan

You can't blame him wanting to sit next to me Harry. The little fella is only human.
Still no contract adjust letter re pay and conditions. Seems the muppets have given up on doing any work. Even if there is no pay rise there should be a contract adjust stating this.

Agreed Don.
The actual official heading each year is: "Pay Review 201*"
The REVIEW the last time we did not receive step,in May 2009, came from TCAS and at least had the courtesy of explaining to those under fleet - the rationale etc.
Maybe next Thursday at 16:30? 🤔

But it would be at least another 5 years before I barely scrape EK min requirements and considering I'm yet to pick up my first GS theory book it's a bit premature to say for sure what I will or won't do so far down the line. Focus now is on getting the 320 RHS for my first employers and impressing them in my training!
And Don ... unless you're saying I'll be blessed to sit next to you due to your superior skill ... I'm quite worried!
I'll zoom back off now to the flight training forums where I belong for now ...

Tired Biz model
It goes like this , the Ek hub and spoke biz model is dead . Point to point is the new / old game as it always was and should be . Hub and spoke works with a suitably large hub (see Atl ) Dxb is at max capacity & cannot grow any larger in terms of capacity . They haven't orderd the new and suitably sized Ulr , slim line airframes & are being bypassed by direct flights . I cannot comment on competency etc .however I give the operation a survival period , in its present form , of 2 yrs possibly less . Only my opinion course , too many negatives and the big players are beginning to squeeze a weakened adversary . As I said only an opinion based on past experience .
