Well "Alan" has released his letter about Transition Upgrades...WTF it's exactly the same as the one issued in January or thereabouts..
3 year Airbus f/o's still need 6 months in the RHS of the mighty 777.......so that's about a year from start of transition to getting command.
So at about the time guys will be going to the 380 if I work out the dates correctly, so it will be no quicker for command on the 777 than it would be hanging about on the bus.
Magic....things start to look a bit brighter, or at least less gloomy and they pull another rabbit out of the hat....TA DAH...same old !!!! re-issued ...
It's the Emirates way...."Promise lots, deliver little...."
