what makes you think that in 2-3 years, or even 4-5 for that matter, is the probable time to wait for LHS at EK??
In Recent EK roadshows across Europe they were selling the idea that 5 years was a fair estimate but this was before the 150 DEC announcement and delayed/suspended A380 deliveries.
From some friends recently admited at EK as FO they think that now a 8-9 years is a more real estimate to cope with...
In terms of quality and style of living for you and your family, Dubai is still the best choice but if you've been recently in Doha you can easily predict it won't be like that for longer. More or less like EK and QR, the Dubai airline is rapidly loosing ground to its competitor!
And I won't even mention aircraft orders...
Nice landings
