I know of at least 7 in the last 3 months, it's not a rumour. One or two off to jet poo and quite a few to Turkish.

Might have gone a little off the topic here as usual. Anyone know why the hell was MOL at EK HQ anyway? Heard the theories of no poaching agreement, taking old kit for long haul or even he may be offered a very senior position.
Was he here as a HR consultant?
Thoughts and possible facts please.

MOL at EGHQ
 

I know of one gone to LCC world, 50% pay cut, living in a caravan, buying own crew food, etc etc. Guys are making the move in that direction but maybe that's nothing new around here?

If they were Captains at Ryanair, and are going back to the LHS on their old contract, I can maybe see that as being not the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Anyone else should be very wary of believing that Mick has suddenly had his Road to Damascus moment.

Complete Speculation Alert! With Norwegian's success on the transatlantic service in terms of very high load factors (despite the political challenges) and EK looking to eventually replace a lot of older, but well cared-for, airframes with newer 777s and A380s, I still think a shopping trip for MOL makes sense. EK will be getting a flood of new airplanes in the coming years and the older airframes have to go somewhere. Just a theory but who knows...

Gents…

I'm afraid its all about horses. MOL apparently is quite fond of horses and you can figure out the connection. That's what I heard. Nothing to do with operations etc.
