You could be an A380 Captain after 6-7 years as FO.
Probably not. Try the far side of 12-15 years if ever. Right now Emirates has 6 year A380 F/Os with previous medium jet command time. New joiners will not get a command until the airline doubles in size to nearly 400+ aircraft if that happens. The EK age demography means few retirements, those and any resignations will likely be compensated for by DECs.

Both are fast-growing airlines with expanding hubs.
Turkish maybe. Emirates is a big airline and growth will decline from now on. Many of the orders are overdue replacements for older aircraft.

That's my 0.02.
The poster Iver has no particular connection with EK or the Middle East area. I think he works in Europe.


Even so I wouldn't go work for THY. I wouldn't join EK as an F/O either.
