Since when is EK a legacy carrier?
I agree with 711. Why go to EK if you don't plan to stay till retirement? What is the use of wide body experience when the airlines in your home country do not have wide bodies to come back to let alone DEC positions? Now I understand that the topic starter is from India, so that may change things a bit, but from a European point of view, you better be sure that you want to stay in the desert, otherwise the move to EK is a blind move (which is fine, if you like that sort of thing!).
