Quite right Gnadenburg. As far as commands go at KA, they are few and far between. The airline is shrinking and in the next 3 years will be 2/3rds the size. As for commands, 22 planned next year but as we all know that number is just touted to keep the more senior FO's interested. It will probably be more like half that number and that's optimistic. If you come here on COS18 and are expecting a command, you will be extremely disappointed. KA will cease to exists beyond 5 years me thinks and COS18 pilots are just as Gnadenburg points out, seat fillers who are cheap and disposable ( more so than the rest of us ). RRO is only open to officers with at least 10 years in rank and therefore any illusion of getting it as a COS18 pilot is a pipe dream.
