The group going through the 380 upgrade right now joined in the last half of 2007 and the first half of 2008. But there are some who joined in 2006 who are still F/Os on the 380. Probably due to an untimely forced transition from the 330 and still not having the hours on type for upgrade.

This is now a very large airline and past growth rates by numbers/ratio will not be sustained, many of the aircraft on order are replacements rather than additional so there is no growth of pilot numbers there. In fact much of the future growth is driven by larger aircraft not more aircraft.

If you are looking for an early command then look elsewhere in the region.
