Wrong Trader. The RJ pilots no matter which seat they came from are having a historically high failure rate hence the DECs. When the Talking Horse was here he said they will never hire RJ pilots again. His words were it was too much of a learning curve for them and cost EK money in extra training.
Emirates went basically from late 2008 to late 2009 without hiring any pilots. Also on either side of those dates Emirates hired a lot of RJ pilots and with their high failure rates now Emirates is stuck with pilots that can't upgrade and a year hole in the upgrade process. Again we are stuck with DECs.
