777 200 LR... just a question. Fist of all how can you make such a statement. "Easy to train..adaptable". On what basis?
It is clear that this move of lowering minimus was is aimed to attract Easyjet Ryanair pilots or the like. But why should a lets say 28 to 38 years old FO from those outfit most probably close to his upgrade leave civilization to join EK for basically the same money, if not less, worst rosters being sure of having to spend the next 5 years on the RH seat? To have the privilege to spend 24 hours in the airport Hotel in CDG or 36 hours in JFK or to have the privilege to live in Dubai?
