I am not saying its right. But at least it is following some previously published guideline. Which is something of a surprise in EK. Should the fact that some junior Bus Capt is doing nite turns prevent a more senior Boeing capt from following a published procedure to fly the 380? It wasn't that many years ago that the bus had the good rosters. It swings and changes.
The command thing is a worry. However bus FOs were being held behind Boeing FOs when ALL the present FOs joined. So nothing has changed there. They joined knowing that other Bus FOs were being shafted command wise, and still thought this was the place to be, so I am sure they don't mind now. Would they? (I see your SARCASM, and raise you fact)
