Very nice indeed, but why the heck do they think it's a good idea to mess with the pilots? I stand absolutely corrected on my numbers as well. I was thinking of an article that ran their 2003/04 numbers and I went to double check; should have done before I said anything. Profit for the period was $3.8 billion with $429 million coming from the airline. Considering QF regularly makes half a billion and our little outfit does 1/4 billion it does seam reasonable. Too bad a company like AA can't figure it out as well.
I understand that Qatar goes to KL 24 times per week. That seams like a lot to me. I knew some guy's in management at Gulf and that one is a no brainer.
So EK is nothing like Eva, but do you guy's see it going that way; staying on the downward course that it is on? Or will they have to do something to keep people, and continue to get a reasonable calibre of pilot. . . or, is it really getting that bad?
