Bottom line is there are two airlines within Emirates, Airbus gets treated one way and Boeing another, your luck of the draw which one you're on!
Airbus F/O''s are being shafted because there are 16 DEC's coming on to the A330 and there are some very quiet transfers from the 777 for a select few over to the Bus so that some senior locals can go to the 380 later on.....
The company does'nt give a **** that your upgrade will come a year and 9 months after the 777 guys!!
Take the FOM and use it as toilet paper, it is all it is good for.
