Thanks MR8.. Your info is appreciated. I m confused though. I have got colleagues flying for EK and some of them agree with the policy u stated where as some of them are not aware of it. Infact one of them stated u need to join EK with 8000tt. He says there is no writtten policy to this effect. The reason i m so eager to know this info is because i m due for an interview and i have got 7500 tt and 2600 command time. I dont know which boat i m sailing in. Ha Ha ha

Cheers MR8 . U r a good man.
