Great reply. Come on, fact is EK is expanding faster than the pilots they have. It's much cheaper to hire a type-rated pilot, whether F/O or DEC. No, it's not fair to Guys, that have shown loyalty, but they have to crew the aircraft. Surely, it's the same for any proper airline. It's the usual story, be there at the right time. I don't fly for EK, but if I applied and was offered a DEC, I would take it, I think. The F/O position wouldn't even enter the equation, even though, I feel sorry for your circumstances. It's not fair, but that is the way it goes.
