Thanks sittingidly that helps a lot!
I see the aircraft orders in EK,so waiting 2 more years to get PIC hours is not a problem, and things can settle down a bit. I thought that provided your background they offer you the fleet Boeing to Boeing, Airbus to Airbus. In my case one of the reasons to go to EK would be the 777, so if they offer me 330, I would be quite disappointed. Any chance to request the 777, and have it granted?
