Yeah yeah i know Fatbus, sorry i wasnt having a go at you, just expressing my opinion thats the weight thing is complete BS because it doesnt really define a pilots ability in any way shape or form!
Not true. As a general rule the bigger the airplane the more international routes it flies which fits with the type of crews EK and indeed other international carriers are looking for. Of course there are always exceptions but EK probably does not have the manpower to look for them, so they set general criteria to help pick the best candidants.
