Perhaps the number crunchers are trying to work out how to keep the 330 training supported. I understand many trainers are on the 380 list as line drivers. Rumour of course....

so you think EK will send the 380 fo's back to the 330 train them and then 6 month later upgrade them?
train them twice on an airplane that they havent flown in years and its actually harder to fly than the 380?
I think the bean counters will step in and say WTF are you doing here?
EK always goes for the cheapest option.

Training capacity on the 330 is not going to be a problem over the next few years with the gradual phase out of the 330/340 so the issue of converting 380 F/Os to the 330 is not going to be a problem. Will the company release pilots for their upgrade on the 380 is another matter. The chief pilot 380 stated in a wash up a few days ago there will be no upgrades on the 380.
