CEO Pita,

Ok thanks for clearing up a few things re. UPG, sim pass rates, etc. But waiting 5 yrs for a command is not that bad really. If and when I get my command, I will have been just under 5 yrs with the company. My point is I dont feel exactly thrilled about flying the 320 just yet. Would much prefer to be flying a 777 or 787 and I was wondering if investing 5, 6, 7 or more years in a company like EK/QR/EY would get me the wide body command instead of the SH, overworked and underpaid one that is looming for me here.

Cheers,

OW.

PS. Company requirement here is minimum 4000 Total Time. Latest 2 guys Upgraded have 5000 and 7000 respectively previous 2 guys pretty much the same, the one before them had about 6000. In each case, they were around the 4-5 year mark. So you see, kind of like QR. I will be upgrading with the bare minimums so yeah I guess am lucky in that respect.
