I would say most accepted. Let's be realistic - you wait in the holding pool for a year, checking pprune every day to see if there are any developments and then bang....... you're offered a job. Are you really going to turn it down? - even with the harbingers of doom on this thread warning you that you'll hate Dubai, Emirates, the way of life, the traffic, the people, etc, etc. You've been waiting a year and you want this job big time!

I would even suggest that various posters on this thread who have said they were offered the position but turned it down weren't offered the position at all.

As a career move, you can't go far wrong in Emirates. For a young FO joining, they are giving 7 years to command, but we all know the state of flux the airline business is in - today it's 7 years; next year it might be revised to 2 years.
