Maintenance. Returning from, and going to. Problem at the moment is not enough technicians to keep up with demand.
I did a BOM trip a few nights ago. Total empty seats on both flights, combined? 3.
LAX trip a week and a half ago. Total empty seats on both flights combined? 7.
MEL round trip? No empty seats.
The passenger demand is there. Just need more technicians to keep the aircraft and passengers flying.

The real mystery figure to get one's hands on is the yield. I'd be interested to see how the fares look across the carriers at the moment.

No cabin crew recruitment for sometime. Is it the same for pilots these days?

Good example of EK shooting themselves in the foot. Emirates own the franchise to Costa so when they are probably making more profits than the airline reducing their business is a dumb move.

Emiratisation doesn't lead to productivity improvements.
You could clear out a couple floors in EGHQ and I doubt anyone would notice other than the increased number of available parking spaces.

Called past EGHQ around the middle of the day today, so dropped into Costas for a quick skinny hazelnut low-foam takeaway-cup cappuccino and a slightly under-done croque monsieur and was pleasantly surprised by the number of spare seats and short queues..a couple of clearly work-related rendezvous happening, but might not have been EK..

Heard a funny story a long while back.... When the new interviewees and their wives were taking the tour of the new EGHQ atrium area with all it's glitz and glamour, One of the wife's asked the tour guide lady, "Wow, this place is huge... how many people work here?" Without missing a beat the tour guide lady said, "Oh, about half of them". :-)
