dicksie, do some research - it doesn't happen everywhere. Read the posts properly, not just what you want to see. The point is that these F/O's joined under a set of conditions, and the conditions have been changed enormously to the detriment of their careers. Some of the guys gave up their left seats to join here, because the T & C's when they joined made it look attractive. This happened in CX years ago; blokes would resign their commands in companies to go right seat CX because the T & C's made it an attractive proposition. No different from the blokes who have similarly joined EK. However, EK has changed their T & C's. And,when the company couldn't get the wide-body, internationally experienced DEC's they thought would come flocking to the wonderful EK, they lowered the requirements for the DEC's. Therein lies the problem. Go on now, apply again. Even if they take you, you still have to pass the course.
