Rumours that the 748s will be based LA ,San FRan ,UK ,etc and the requirement for the positions will be a current 747-400 rating, which leaves all EK drivers not qualified.

What a load of rubish!
There is no way that EK will allow it's passenger aircraft to be operated by any third party company.
When EK buys an aircraft they want to operate it, including cargo aircraft.
If they can't get enough guys or girls to fly them they may be forced to look else where but until then they will be operated and based in Dubai by EK staff, even if they are direct entry crew.
