This is, from the companies point of view, just low hanging fruit. With simulators not running at the moment and not enough sectors available for meaningful training you are just not producing anything and since they only have to pay you 7 days (yes they doubled that for the ones affected) it was unfortunately an easy decision to cut costs. Hopefully this will buy them some time to see how the market recovers and how deep they will need to cut next round.

Honestly what do you expect; he is of the same group always posting bs against the company. And now just trying to create more havoc with such an infectious post. As all those idiots who claim they are happier since they left but they still have to keep logging into this forum to trash anyone who says something favorable pf the company or that other group that bi..ch incessantly about how unhappy they are here and how miserable is the company but don't have the cojones to say the same things during the washups or even leave the company
He calls people idiots because they left EK and found a better job somewhere else and are happy! I would have been SERIOUSLY concerned if I was still at EK today with the knowledge of Tim Clark's statement, " The A380 is over".

You don't think Airbus saying they weren't going to make anymore had maybe been a hint to the 380s demise? I think they said that SERIOUSLY as well, but it was in frog talk so I guess a bit hard to tell.

Just out from the ARN News Centre
Emirates Airline has revealed that it will be saying goodbye to a few of its employees.
In a statement, the airliner clarified that it will continue to reassess the current situation impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and is doing “everything possible to protect jobs”.
The Dubai-based carrier explained that they will be looking after impacted employees, and they will be treating them with fairness and respect.
Emirates also said that although flights have been slowly returning to the skies with the necessary safety measures in place, the pandemic is impacting many industries and business operations.
We reviewed all possible scenarios in order to sustain our business operations, but have come to the conclusion that we unfortunately have to say goodbye to a few of the wonderful people that worked with us.

Heard from people in Training College.... Pilots and cabin crew who are on probation or still in training college got terminated today.Tragic news for them. The number of people was not as high as it was made out to be before. https://www.thenational.ae/business/...mand-1.1027002
