I don't think there will be 40+ at any given time. The count seems to be cumulative. You can see it now. Drive along the road near DWC where the entrance to Dubai Airshow is. Most of the aircrafts can be seen parked there.

Why should you take a photo of aircraft and show STC. If he was proactive, all he needs to do is take a drive there and look, all he needs to do is go to rostering and ask the clerks how short of pilots are we, go to the hangar and ask how short of engineers are we. He doesn’t seem to care, no one except the employees do.

Motley is right , STC only cares about the money . The sooner pilots realize they are hired labour the better off they will be . Full bucket = move on

SOPs .the manager of cabin crew, a grade 10 position, is saying hoo roo. His job is being advertised on internal vacancies. The low cost fella who replaced Terry Daly seems to have the same management style as ATC .Looks like more managers in service delivery are looking alsewhere.

People don't leave jobs, they leave Managers, or in this case zee Stasi MK2.

As for the rest thinking STC doesn't care, correct he doesn't, which shouldn't be a surprise BTW, he was allegedly overheard recently remarking as much during a luncheon in Europe.

I don’t understand. Is it because they did not recruit enough pilots or is it because pilots are really leaving. It’s hard to believe that pilots would leave Emirates. This news is kind of shocking. I don’t follow Middke East news so much but what is really going on here. This has been going on for sometime ?

BECGM, the simple answer, and it is valid for any company, is at the following link:

Err - That article is utter ****e. The numbers quoted are the pre-planned parking totals in each specific month.
Some braindead imbecile / someone with an agenda has added the three months totals up to make a big story...........
Reality is between 5% and 8% of the fleet in storage at DWC (without getting into whats also lazing around at DXB on low utilisation.....)
Oooh - and look, the highest parking month is the month most affected by Ramadan - who would of thought it?

I know for a fact that 777s are standing at DWC. Just trying to find out which A380s have gone.

Delta! Plus many other airlines. Pull your head out and realize there’s a much better world outside the Middle East. Where do you think all of EK pilots are leaving for? Not all the escapees are driving trains.
