A fast command - or not
To add to what's been posted above about fast commands, there's a bad trait that's been in the company for a while now and is getting worse.
Experienced FOs are joining with an expectation (straight from the recruitment team) that they'll get a chance at a command after a year or maybe 2 with the company, depending on experience. What they don't tell you is that that will only happen if you basically get perfect scores from the trainers for two consecutive LPC/OPCs, which is completely subjective. There's very little standardisation (not really the fault of the trainers. Much more likely the fault of those running the training department) and a lot of guys and girls are now leaving or looking at leaving because they're getting fed up with the system. This is just one of the problems at the moment.
Some of the stories we're hearing about the new destinations are a little 'interesting' too!
If you join, it's a bit of a lottery whether that upgrade that you perhaps expect will ever materialize before you get fed up with the company/Dubai/landlord/cost of living and give up. I have a number of friends in that position. Lots have left or are planning on leaving.
Please be guided accordingly, as they say.
