If you wanted a command in 5 years you should have joined 5 years ago. A glance at the number of aircraft on order (remember some are replacements) compared to the number of aircraft Emirates already has shows that the expansion will have stopped well before anybody joining now is in line for an upgrade. This means anybody joining now will have to rely on attrition and retirements to move up the seniority list before they get a command. There have been no significant aircraft orders for a while now.
