Any idea for a possible New-Joiner how much the time to Command is at this time??
How many F/O's are flying for EK?
I was thinking with everything I read the following...
Over 1000 pilots at this time in EK (half of these F/O.. so 500)
By 2012 expecting 2200 pilots, so they need 1200 pilots in the coming 8 years, which is 600 Captains.
If I compensate the retirees and Captains who resign with the number of DEC the take on now, this means that for a new joiner at this time, Command is about 7 years away???? ... and Accelerated Command seems like a useless promise since there will always be someone before you on the list with at least 3 years in EK????
What about the promised 3 to 4 years to Command????
Please someone prove me wrong!!!
I waited for this opportunity a long time, but suddenly I'm starting to chicken out...
