145 you stil have not said where you are from. We all know 330 man has great quotes but where are you from?
Shockwave there never was a reason for DECs. The company has dragged its feet on training to get ready for the B-777 just for the excuse to hire DECs. The company knew about these airplanes for over 2 years. They could also drop the 3 year requirement to upgrade but won't. Expansion is not that fast. My last company recieved a new airplane every 10 days for over 2 years and did not have any problems with training or recruitement. Why the difference?

Anyone make head or tail of Mr ED's career planing spreadsheet..
Looks like about 30 or so Airbus up-grades between now and the end of March, so some guys will be almost 4 years on the bus before UG.
It will be fun to see what the "actual" v's "planned" looks like in a years time when it has come to pass...

ukwannabe,
You will not get sensible answer from the KG. They are too busy fighting over each other's toys and accusing each other over what they said or did not say.

Your answer might be there. Good luck.

Upgrade delay?
Just wondering what is happening with EK upgrades since A380 is delayed? The fleet transfer from Airbus to Boeing must have an influence for F/O upgrades (Boeing F/O's) because the Airbus guys filling up the Boeing fleet.Then again when A380 arrives the company is short of Airbus guys in turn.
Fellow EK pilots: Give your idea in this matter, I know in this room are the guys who knows the situation better than I do. Thanks.
Considering to leave this company!!!!!!!!!!!
