Sadly you can't, such is the result of the last few years. But what you can do is give yourself the best chance with the most useful experience. I prefer type ratings that don't limit my options to one Middle Eastern airline.
Interestingly there's plenty of ex-Tankers on the A350 who are very happy with the bunks and going to Accra. Seems I'm not the only one who sees the 380 as a vulnerable fleet.
Anyway, apologies for the extreme thread drift and best of luck to all hoping to join.
