No, as a company they have been flying for three years (kayala), the loco side is newer, but the planned expansion plans mean that whatever you are told as an FO, they will always take DEC's. Clear financial sense. I am a good few years away yet so as not to worry too much, but it will shape my decision eventually.
EMB might be a little different in a while, but again, DEC's will trump any FO here for a good while yet.
The real spanner in the works is that the company has stated that it will not even consider upgrades in the future unless you are on a full time contract. Most of the expats work here for the salary and the time off. Nothing more. To me that shows the direction the company is now taking.
Please forgive me for my personal interpretation of the situation, i would like to stand correted, however, i 'm not so sure that i will.
Now then.................Fly Ginger
