upgrade to left seat in Emirates and Qatar
Who knows at EK. Funny thing is they have stopped the upgrades on the B777 as they don't have enough FOs and would be forced to cancel flights if they upgraded. So is the B777 DEC back in the line? Who knows. New hires have been told here 4 years. But I don't think that will be the case. I think the new hires are looking at 6-8 years. However with the "EXTREMELY" high attrition rate, it's anyone's guess what's going to happen. The train has derailed and the cars are starting to pile up behind it. The real question is how will this problem be solved. If it's not done correctly, EK will fail. But if it is done correctly, it will once again be the place to run to.
Waiting for the press release in the coming weeks to see. 😬😬
