No, I'd prefer nobody codeshare. But what's management's logic in saying it's totally okay for Virgin to fly our pax but not Emirates?

(Again, I'd rather US carriers just fly these routes themselves)

Not for certain. Their expansion might be impeded by the shear lack of qualified labor in the near future. Their egos is getting in the way of incentivizing the job, leading to a looming exodus of pilots. Some might even be able to draw parallels with Gulf Air.

Emirates, Qatar, and Etihad are here and they are here to stay.
Actually I do. But clearly you are cool with being a cog in the Slaver's Bay system cause vaguely it's spread across all nations. Got it, enjoy the pit and the shiney metal pawn.

Reverse roster patterns and commuting options and voilą...., all the qualified crew members they could possibly need

Irrelevant. You don't care. You only brought it up to bash the ME3 airlines because of their governments and the supposed financial backings. FYI I don't fly in the pit, I fly here.

Common sense would dictate that. But I have reason to believe that EK does not operate under that paradigm. Again, shear ego will prevent any kind of progressive fixes like off-basing. Not to mention the fact that these decisions needed to be made five years ago. Today, that ship has sailed.

Thanks for telling me how I think. Btw, got friends from the PI that lost family members while slaving away in Qatar. But who cares, the problem is spread around.

No it hasn't...., I know that the PPrune chatter wants to make everyone think that the company is suffering from serious disruptions due to lack of crews but even the most vocal PPruners admit that there haven't been any cancelled flights or grounded A/C's as a result......., attrition is at what? Single digits? That is not far from the attrition levels at UAL or DAL..., different reasons of course but numbers are numbers....., And they are getting their classes filled.

Everyone thought that there was going to be an avalanche of resignations and thus far it has been manageable levels, with plenty of people applying..., if they had that many problems hiring, Why would people wait months on end to have their applications processed? Don't believe the hype!

VA at least orders planes and competes reasonably. They operate far more above board than ME3, which are babies of their respective oil rich governments. While "S"RB and his fortune plays a role, his entire net worth is a joke compared to the ME3 fiefdoms. ME3 have more planes on order than we have planes. And they're not all coming to fly Chinese bubble market investors to and from their ghost cites to all points in the third world. They are coming to take our existing flying while we provide their regional defense, pay them to take our airplanes and subsidize their assault on our piloting profession through our tax code.

The medical profession has drugs that help combat paranoid schizophrenia.
