So, at this rate, you would need to stick around until at least 2013-2014 until the first 787 arrives (if there are no more delays) to get that incremental rating. Wow, that's a big carrot...
How often do QR Airbus pilots bid or switch over to the 777 fleet? Are Airbus pilots "encouraged" to stay put on the A330/A340 vs. jumping to Boeing? It sounds like EK allows the jump with a bunch of A330/340 pilots recently bidding 777 there.
