For those who want to join
any middle east airline (and not just EK) had better realise from the beginning that, once the employment contract is signed and dated...what you see is what you get, be it F/O or Command straight away.
Upgrades are at the pleasure of the respective company, regardless of past experience.
Like it or lump it, makes
no difference.
Always has been, always will be, no matter
what is promised afterwards.
And, as many have found out to their dismay, the 'goal posts' are a movin' constantly...also again at the companies pleasure.
Anyone dis-agree?
Don't like it...go elsewhere (after training, of course).
