6 months waiting time
Class of travel dependant on Grade 8,9 is Y/J and 10+ J/F below that Y.
Seniority dependant on staff number (joining date) unless a big wig or his family turn up then all bets off.
Reasonable agreements with OAL but J class only available on LH
Impossible to buy J class cat C and FOCs very difficult to use unless booked months in advance.
All in all it's ok and availability on EK is reasonable there is a decent prediction service that does ok so saves too many airport waits.
