What they told during the roadshow is that airbus guys will continue flying airbus and boeing guys will continue flying boeing when the upgrade come, because of the training double costs it would have to change fleets. The minimums are a little bit different to be upgraded on the narrow (4500TT) or widebody (5500 TT) fleet.
My question is about the time to command. With all these acft's to be delivered, do you really think that the upgrade will be in the next 4 years for a new joiner with experience? Is this time at EY definitely lower than at EK?
For me, this is the key to opt for an expat life.

Appreciate any help from you guys living in the ME, or with friends in this situation.
