In addition to what have been mentioned earlier in this thread a DEC needs at least 1500 hours command on 777 or 330/340. Any one has any idea how they have been able to find 16 guys with these qualifications that are ready to move to the desert? They must have had a decent position in another airline to accumulate the experience so it's a bit strange. Unless it is the guys from SQ that didn't get their contract renewed last year...
Someone's flown with any of them or is it just a rumour?
