I realize this is like tilting at windmills with you guys, but I have to chime in yet again.
The EK roadshows are not aimed at DECs specifically. They are informational presentations to let the wider pilot population know more details about a career at Emirates. Some people who are DEC qualified do attend, but the majority are ones who would like to join as First Officers. Many airlines present at job fairs; including Cathay Pacific, Southwest, Air India, etc. They are airlines that are looking for pilots. As it is becoming an increasingly tight market the airlines that actively advertise for pilots will be able to attract better qualified applicants.
The use of the term Sxxx for anyone other than a person who crosses a union picket line is incorrect and, quite honestly, stupid. As has been said on this forum many times, those of you who do leave EK will most likely be doing so as DECs at another airline so get off your high horses in regards to the name calling ( P.S. this does not mean I endorse DECs, it's just that you can't blame the person who takes an opportunity offered. )
