What about overall fleet size? With all of the changes is the fleet size going to increase or decrease?
Also, what about the future orders. Are they still coming?

well, guys i really need your opinions, as i mentioned in my last post, i have been flying the B738 at Egyptair for almost 6 years, now i've just started my training in SV on the A330, i kept begging them to put me on the B777 and no one ever listened, as you may know the A330 Destinations are really bad ( unlike what i used to on the B738 ) as well as they dont make good money compared to the B777 . i really hate the transfer from the B738 to the A330, i do hate the country and can't deal with people here as well . im thinking to return to Egyptair my home airline, and i want you to tell me what do you think i shall do ? the salary in SV is the double of what i get at Egyptair . would you please give me an advice ?

that' not what i've been told in the interview, even the initial contract they sent me on my email it said FO B777/A330 , when i arrived here i discovered that its the A330, kept begging for the B777 and all i got was a clear no WHILE i had colleagues from Egyptair who were with me on the same interview day, same arrival day, and they got the B777, and for your knowledge, im the only expat on the A330 who has got no Airbus experience, all FO's from Egyptair who flown the B738 are here on the B777 ( almost 50 sth ) Except me !

You will not have good destinations on 330, but other than that it's going to be a good equipment: good money and no jet lags. If you make it through training. Good luck!
To make you feel better about company decision to put you on 330, I'll tell you that almost all of the initial 330 batch came from company 747. Despite of 10-20 years seniority. Company requirment. Period.
You still have complains with your zero ceniority and foreign 737 experience?

well, Alloha, i confess i may have sounded kinda emotional and unprofessional and that was because my mind was totally messed up, i know its their company and they do what they wish and i have nothing but to accept it or leave, thats why i was asking your opinions guys shall i leave or not, i asked for nothing else ! and once i arrived, asked for the 777 and been told a big NO , i didnt even mention it again since then ! so its not like iam a crying 5 years old for a candy or ice cream . anyway thank you for your opinion mate, oh and yes, my first FTD session was 2 days ago so i didn't get the chance to fail any exam and/or check YET
anyway i resigned yesterday because just like what guiones said, " Either u like it or u leave it. "

Alloha, sir i did not say that you said im gonna fail i understood what u were talking about , and about resigning on second day of FTD, i couldn't make that decision earlier, coz it would have been too early to judge, i honestly took the decision as soon as i could . i didn't mean anything by resigning at that stage . and they shouldn't judge on Egyptians because of a single act .
thanks for the care sir it has been nice talking and listening to your opinion .

That's a bad hasty decision you took. A330 is a good fleet and they have started getting good layovers now. It's a wide body at the end of the day and it is a good job. After release you would get almost double of your basic. Which is too good . Besides in 330 your training would be faster. Not everyone gets to come this far. You could have completed one contact and went back home. There nothing wrong with the people are attitude here. You know their language that's an added advantage. You haven't see the worst,that's all I would say. I'm on 777 but I would still have taken the 330 if I had no option other than that.
Any ways good luck.
