Guy's, just to kick you in the balls when you're down, it is CONFIRMED that we will NOW betaking DEC's onto the Airbus.
Oblaaspop, as this is a Rumor site, nothing is really confirmed.
I've got good friends as Airbus FOs (I do not work for EK) and they had their upgrade courses postponed for 3 months, but they also told me that the movement of pilots (Captains and FOs) between Airbus and B777 fleets is suspended.
Emratty and Fart Master, those friends of mine have told me exactly the same as you have written here.
Could someone make these facts clear?
And as I see it, EK is likely to get a very small number of Decs due to the poor contract conditions, as well as the company accommodation issue, and I don't think they will get the chance to choose on which fleet they would like to fly.
Decs are everywhere and Emirates have been using this policy for years.
