Trent1974, Thanks for your post (and thanks bulldog_pirate for asking the good questions). I too am an experienced FO with decent enough time up and enough command boxes ticked in my present company to make an EK prospect the biggest decision of my recent life.
Filtering thousands of prune posts is a real task. On the surface, what I have so far researched about EK outside prune is very encouraging - massive cash reserves, doubling in size every four years, consistent profit, huge aircraft orders, things that make it a standout compared to many of the world's airlines.
Obviously nobody can make my decision for me but i'll keep my eye on this thread with great interest, both for hot off the press interview gen and for any comments from experienced EK pilots who can give some of their time to share their thoughts on EK life and DXB life in general.
Many thanks in advance
