Yes, there is now a route from the RHS to the LHS on a 380. Only problem is that the management see their new toy as somehow 'different' and that you need 2500 hours on type, on top of whatever heavy hours you have accrued on other fleets within EK.
Mr White, overall, yes, happy in that I have a 'secure' job in aviation but bear in mind that this security is only ever as good as your last approach out here! That has been made quite clear in recent months! Am happy that I made the correct decision in terms of airlines in the middle east. The career progression is a concern but am happy that it will move forward, albeit at a vastly different rate to that of others in different fleets. Remember that you are just a number, here, in a vast machine and that the management will do little to help your personal morale. Still, that costs them in the long term.....
