Simple economics work. Don't pay more to get the crews, dangle the 380, hallas!! Also strong rumour that 2nd Os on the 380 fleet, which will keep the highly experienced local new boys as SFOs on the other fleets. Whats the point though of a 380 rating, where you gonna take it. All the majors operating it will have a serious seniority that you will never bypass to get in there. Better off with staying where you are. Hey newbies to EK FO, you looking at 7 years ++ to a command at the mo, probably more as there are 600 FOs waiting to upgrade, most late 30s, early 40s. Ok make that 20 years to upgrade, welcome in!!
