No problem...case of Tiger beer(best in the world). EK have done it before and will do it again due to their shortage of quality candidates.
I have heard from good sources many EK F/Os are not coming up to scratch.
They will have a lot of experience to pick from from the Qantas ranks.
Some of the Qantas Captains got 747 commands in less than 6 years in the eighties and have been in command ever since.
Good sources are indicating Captains have been contacted.
