Emirates Airline said Tuesday that it has begun pilot and cabin crew cuts but declined to confirm the numbers of employees affected or reports of severe pay cuts for those who remain. The move marks a second round of cuts following its decision two weeks ago to let go of hundreds of A380 pilot and flight attendant trainees.
