Always wondered how EK managed to survive all this time with such a stupid policy of only upgrading FO .
With a huge number of plane on order sooner or later they had to come back to the old habit like the competitor neighbors.
As a Capt on the B777 with more than 3500h on type If I decide to join EK I will have to do it on the right seat an wait for all the FO to complete their upgrades before I can move back to the left seat woooh.
Who ever managed to sell a stupid idea like this to Emirates in this highly competitive market, for such a long time must be very very good.
Congratulation,
