Kenny,
Another point is that it will be curious to know what the notification period one needs. I know that my company requires 2 month notice and i dont want to burn any bridges to attain a job. I know that some european carriers require 3 months notice and others require a longer notice period. If EK does the hiring on a month to month basis, then i am sure that many poolies will be eliminated just by that fact alone.
Another scenario is with the economic crisis, does it really make sense to move to the bottom of a seniority list. I just spoke to the family, and i cant take the risk of starting over. I really wanted EK but the safety and well being of my family comes first. Additionally, i just spoke to a new hire at EK and he told me that it is not what he imagined.
A famous captain once told me that once you are an expat, you are always an expat. I dont know if i can put my wife through my pursuit of an ideal job.
I think EK is a great company, but my family's well being is more important.
