Etihad pilots asked to take unpaid leave
Any of you folks working for Etihad? I saw this article in Reuters yesterday.
Etihad Airways has grounded its five Airbus freighters, and is asking its pilots to take unpaid leave as it continues to rethink its strategy, the airline and sources told Reuters on Wednesday.
Etihad is encouraging pilots to take unpaid leave for periods as short as one week or as long as 18 months as it reviews its fleet requirements with the intention of retiring some aircraft, according to three sources.
Etihad has made few comments on its strategy review in which hundreds of positions have been removed and several routes cut since it was launched.

Etihad faces complex issues in fleet restructuring
Market intelligence revealed last year that the airline has been pursuing a path to dispose of five Boeing 777LRs, 22 Airbus A330s, all its A340s and only a few A320 family members.
The company also wants to cancel or defer a variety of Airbus and Boeing aircraft on order.

Delta is looking for the 777s and A330s
Not a rumor
