The gates are open and the race is on.
EK are officially taking DEC's. Now we will see a mass exodus from QF.

Very interesting indeed. Do you have a source for this "official" news? EK careers website still says different.

Should be interesting....it is true, so it will benefit CA's but actively discourage QF F/O's. Can't wait for the benefit of the skygod's wisdom with world wide ops.....:E

There will be no exodus from QF. The QF gig is akin to Golden handcuffs
