Proxy I think you are overstating the savings in training with DECs. I agree there is a saving but whether you upgrade from within or use a DEC you still have to train another FO. The DECs aren't going to fly by themselves, so that is cost neutral. If the DEC is not current on EK fleet, which it sounds like some aren't then there is extra training there also. Savings yes, but not huge.
