On another thread someone posted that in the last 12 months nearly 40% of pilot recruitment was DEC. Maybe we should factor that into any command expectations. If they ramp it up to 50% there will be no internal commands at all.
There was a time when EK was a small airline with rapid growth and this equaled rapid command. Then it was a medium size airline with even more rapid growth and even more rapid commands. Now it's a very big airline that can't grow too much more due to the physical limitations of the local airports and UAE airspace. Never mind that their network already comprehensively covers all the inhabited continents. Trans-Pacific is all that's missing and it will come but through existing destinations.
At some point soon and it may already have happened new joiners will see the growth stop before their turn for the left seat comes up. Sure, Emirates has a shed load of orders but many of them are for replacement aircraft not additional. They're also for bigger aircraft. EK will carry 20-40% more traffic just by replacing small aircraft with big ones and no more pilots needed at all!
Consider discussing this with HR at your interview.
