Hee-hee.

That was quite funny and I laughed out loud.

However, the question asked was genuine and deserves a fair answer.

Thee will be no requirement for DECs at any point in at least the next 10 years, as the expansion has (and will continue to) slow down as the final fleet numbers are revised.

There are many, many experienced FOs on the list who will be in line to take their place over the next 5 years.

Most new joiner FOs are low on hours but by the time their command comes around in approx. 10 years they will easily be qualified.

My advice would be to try a short-haul command down the road at the national carrier in Abu Dhabi... But then, why would you leave a short-haul command at home to come to the Middle East where life is much harder and the money probably not much better (especially if you're not on the long-haul left seat).

Hope this helps. Please have patience with most of the posters on this board as they are hot and bothered
