In the 2012 recruitment rush, the company hired about 87 DECs (50 B777 and 37 A330). The company argued that at the time it had an operational need, and no one would be disadvantaged.
During the last 12 months, they have hired 10 B777 DECs and 11 A330 DECs. Hundreds of FOs on the B777 have completed selection, have upgrade letters and are waiting courses have all been bypassed. Time to command at EK is now much longer than previously reported.
