1/ Hard to say...but if guys fulfill the 6000hrs/ 3 years at Emirates, they have priority over the accelerated guys. The accelerated program is only used if nobody is found with the 6000hrs/3 years requirement.
2/ Around 860, with new courses starting every couple of weeks, and hardly people leaving.
3/most of the A330's will go...don't ask me when the first one is supposed to go...I don't know and they probably don't know it neither! Seems the smallest aircraft will probably be the 777-200, with maybe some A330's left for the Gulf routes.
