Dune,
Thanks for your balanced and unbiased comments. After all, this is this Forum made for.
One question: if EK is so eager to find suitable DECs how can be explained the fact that a lot of experienced (12,000 plus TT, in excess of 9,000 HR PIC airline time with more than 3,500 wide body) captains did not receive but the standard hold pool email?
I know 6 of these guys..ok, they are not EK fleet rated.
But this hardly could present a big deal, considering EK training facilities.
