Oh, I dont know, some guys have made widebody command in EK in the time it takes a CX guy to graduate from sandwhich eating/bunk making to the RHS.
Then of course there is the beautiful HK air ......................

Then there's the guy who left here as an FO for the delights of EK and is now back with AHK. Couldn't stand the brown stuff over there.

Wasnt there a EK Airbus Senior Training Captain a few years ago who joined CX as an S/O just to get away from that mob?

Sure was.
He's still with us, and he's a good guy too.
So what would that tell you about EK?

Now that I have been booted out of training like a diseased whore, it might be my chance to shine in the desert and bring aviation nirvana to the melting pot of aviation.

Standby gents let me call the Maktums

I heard they took a couple of Cathay pilots recently .They are leaving because time to command was going to take too long. Emirates looking at approximately 5 years plus .
Presently it is taking about 4 years for Boeing and 5 years for Airbus pilots to get to a command.
According to Wikipedia.
Emirates have 195 aircraft on order . They have 15 A380s and 75 to come .

Someone who went to one recently told me they were going to accept P2X time 1 for 1.
So maybe some SO's who have decided 5 years to JFO isn't what they were expecting go for it??

Then there are guys left/leaving AHK for EK, what we hear...

Are AHK COS better than EK or vice versa.

Good luck and Happy landings wherever!

I've been here at CX for around 5 years and I'm doing quite well, thank you very much. There is no way on God's green earth I would consider making a move to EK, not even if there was a command in 12 months. I've heard from the horse's mouth, so to speak, and it is not pleasant working or living there. No thanks.

I am not impressed with the CX work culture ( despite what the new guy says on this weekly brief)
But until EK talk bases I'll rather spend the 27th at Disneyland. At least the kids will be entertained as well.
