I dont think CX will make space for you OGI.. but im guessing you have to show them youre capable and most importantly that you can stand out from the rest (which will be alot harder with tens of thousands more applicants from around the world) e.g. Etihad CPP.
Definitely interesting times..and I think a very clever strategy. As a result, I can see that the DESO could be a thing of the past for this airline.
