I think what the guys are getting at Don is in the past EK has hired DECs when they haven't been able to upgrade F/O's quick enough or there was a lack of Qualified F/O's.(but never had a problem recruiting F/O's in parallel to DECs to meet expansion).
Now they are or will be hiring DEC's when there is an abundance of qualified F/O's that will be frozen in position due to poor planning due to the fact they can not attract suitably qualified f/o's to fill the void in the numbers required.
Subtle difference.
