Thanks PoppaJo, I'm nowhere near retirement yet in fact I've just started at the game. I am currently on the 320 at a low cost carrier, bonded here for another 2ish years then wanna make the call whether to move to someone like EK or come home. To be absolutely honest with you a big shiny 777/380 isn't really doing it for me considering Dubai is like a layover for those guys. I wanna be sleeping in my bed at the end of most days and being around to start a family. Being back home in Aus is also a big attraction.
So you reckon a young Aussie bloke with 1,500hrs on a 320 won't make the cut for them?
Also is time to command still around 8 years? And what about the guys aspiring to be 78 skippers? What's the time frame on that?
Cheers.
