Craggenmore, BA wouldn't hire you now as they didn't hire you years ago. That is why you flew for that ****e charter company you call an airline and think EK is a great airline.
BA does not hire DECs because they are a good airline to work for. EK hires DECs and you see the terms and conditons we have here. Yes we all know you think that EK is better than that crap airline you worked for. Look around and see how many 777 pilots make more than us and work less but it is a good job for you though.
