Emirates sacks 180 pilots in a bid to save cost, more layoffs likely - Moneycontrol.com:
Emirates, the state-owned carrier based in Dubai, has laid off about 180 pilots on May 31, as part of its larger plan to reduce costs after being low because of COVID-19.
Sources told Moneycontrol that the 180 pilots were first officers who were under training for type-rating on the A380. These pilots were on probation.
"This is the first phase of the layoffs. These pilots were called to the office and given the letters," a senior executive said. "More announcements are expected tomorrow," the executive added.
Moneycontrol has seen a copy of one of these letters.
