If all goes well, no sweat but we are only talking about the next economic recession or world war or a pandemic etc. They won’t think twice to fire. Why do you think they are always hiring in spite of not having a phenomenal growth in fleet size. With 2k command time you’ll be eligible for most of the WB command jobs anyways.
If Emirates fires you because of economic conditions, your 2k command time is worthless anyway. Nobody will be hiring....
