cuffio,
I can understand that you didnt know so you asked, but I find your way of thinking quite bizarre, I dont know how your current employer works (if there is a seniority list or not) but although EZY dont have seniority lists, why should you get priority to be based in Germany solely on the fact your family is there?
In any company that you will join, if the thing you want is popular and in demand you will have to wait for it just like everyone else.
I must admit that I dont agree with EZYs actual basing policy for new commands, etc but I think its only fair that the longer you have been in the company the more priority you get.
My last question is, why didnt you join EZY a few years ago then you would have been at your base of choice by now?
Anyway good luck.
