Your research should still be valid as the interview process has not changed.
Just remember to be yourself - don't try to act like the person you think they are looking for. Long, thorough interviews like EK's will always expose this.
Life here is great, both from a flying and living perspective. The company is flooded with applicants of very high standard, so be patient. We still need massive numbers in the next few years.
Good luck, and I'll see you on the beach!!
