Ron B,
For the fleet to double by 2016 EK would need to be receiving over 5 aeroplanes each and every month until the end of 2016. It isn't happening. EK would also need be hiring over 90 new pilots per month. I think latest news is hiring 190 total this year.
EK has 1800 FOs at the moment. If only 1400 are eligible for a command before you would need 23 commands per month for every month for the next 5 years to get ya command in 5 years. It ain't happening either.
