If there is one thing EK management loves to have then it's OPTIONS. They want the option of having a pool of 'DEC's' available at, quite literally, a moments notice to fill any 'sudden demand' void.
There are also quite a few F/O's who have flown here for a couple of years who have been notified of impending Command courses for both fleets plus a sizeable number of B777 Capts. who swapped over to fly the Buses that could quite easily swap back to the B777ER's, which would also create Left-seat vacancies on the Bus. As far as the demand for Skippers, it is a circle that EK can easily maintain from within due to the very high experience level, quality and calibre of the F/O's recruited.But like I stated in my opening line...If there is one thing EK management loves to have then it's OPTIONS...Hey A330Man, pass me a pilsner and the sun block!!!
