I think we can assume that the requirement for DEC will include also B777?? If so then it would attract ex BA 55 retirees provided they can be London based which should not be a problem for EK to organise. It will save them Housing Allowance and also not many will require School Allowances at that age.
However if EK are trying to pay 1st Year Captains salaries then the jobs will need to be permanent to attract younger people.
Will EK state quite clearly in the advertisement exactly what the Salaries are???????????
Maxalt I agree with what your last post mentioned.
The Rev I find your posts very sensible and without some of the hysteria found in some of your erstwhile colleagues.
I can sympathise with those F/O,s in EK especially those who were Captains beforehand but this kind of thing just emphasises that when you join ANY Airline as an expat then all the rules in the past that you were perhaps used to go out of the window.
