Much appreciated for the responses.

Is the general 'rule' that if you interview as an Airbus driver (all jet time on the bus) but with less than the 3000hr min (for the A380) then you will be placed on the A330 with the idea that you will progress to the A340 then A380 in due course or is it possible to get allocated the B777?

Once you join do you usually stay on the fleet you are allocated at joining I.e Airbus 330/340/380 or Boeing 777 or is there room to bid across types ie airbus to boeing or vise versa? I understand in previous years there was a need for A380 captains and these positions were opened up to B777 drivers but once EK's fleet stabilizes will the general rule you will stay within your allocated aircraft manufacturer from initial joining?

Also, if you get the call for a start and it's not the fleet you desire, is there room to voice this to HR and opt to wait for a future class on the fleet you would prefer or is this a big no no in terms of being black listed or put at the bottom of the pile?

Sorry for all the questions just trying to gather as much information as I can.
