Hey congrats on the upgrade...when I said be careful with the contract pilot world, I did say that most of the ME carriers hire FO's mostly but will salt the ranks from time to time with DECs...and the changes in working conditions (mostly arbitrary) will bother lots of staff as well...the other side is you probably had to resign your seniority number at your previous company right? Asian carriers will only rarely upgrade FO hires (except CX) and for sure hire DEC anytime they want. (And let those same ones go at will) All are guilty of changing the work rules to suit them at will...so all I mean to say is be very careful of the contract world...it can bite if you aren't on your game. EK et al might be included in that statement, if the intel is right! Have fun with the new seat and fly safe!
