QF DEC's to EK?
Rumour alert! the word on the street is the next tranche of DEC's will be inbound on the blunderbuss, most likely speaking with that all too familiar Ozzie twang, accent.
Could be/most likely BS, but then again?

As the QF fellas seem to think its the 767 and 744 that are gonna get the chop, it would seem your rumour lacks credibility.

The irony of your post: Ozzies do it our way.
From LIDO CRAR Australia 1-60
"2.14 Communications
Call-Sign / Flight Number "Group form" is the preferred means of transmitting call-sign/flight number.
Examples: QANTAS 1220 QANTAS TWELVE TWENTY VIRGIN 021 VIRGIN ZERO TWENTY ONE"
And if we did that in the UAE, the confusion & this alternate call sign stuff wouldn't be needed.
There are 10m commercial departures per year in the US - no country come close - get over it.
Back to DEC rumor...whether Yanks or Ozzies...or any nationality...for the sake of our FOs I really hope not.
Starting to hear FR have put out the soft gloves and are actively accepting EKers that have decided the chit is no different here than there. If command was to be further delayed...more will go back for sure.

Yeh, mate but I have Qantas time!
Not sure EK wil be too keen to go down the DEC route again after the last time when it took 6 months for them to reach the line with a lot needing extra training to adapt to EK.
Although as one QF guy said he had "Qantas time" so EK would snap him up. He was a little perplexed when I stated EK don't factor "Qantas time". Although they may do if the time was spent in the bunk, 1/4 perhaps.

You guys are funny. There are no DEC's in the future of EK. there are hundreds of qualified FO's now that weren't qualified over a year ago when the DEC rush came in.
Good luck to all the QF guys getting the chop. There are tons of better paying jobs in china/asia.

["We have heard this nonsense over and over through the years and sure enough they open the DEC window now and then in spite of all the claims of the almost impossible to achieve direct left seat at EK save that idiocy for the dumb blonde on an overnight....! You do realize that other pilots read this site right? "]
I was only stating that EK were not too happy with the return of investment from the last lot. I know at some point they will have to consider that option again. There is no requirement for several years now.
As for saving my comments for the dumb blonde on an overnight. Not sure when I would know but I will look out for you, the blonde pilot!

A very small % of the last DEC's required extra training , most did very well. As to DEC's on the 380 let's wait and see, QF is looking at downsizing their 380 fleet already.

What is so special about QF DEC's ??
Not the individuals specifically, but given the rather cozy alliance between QF and EK...it's likely if any pilot redundancies occur, the QF DEC's might turn up..and at other carriers in the Gulf as well..

Agree with u ,and all idiots claims that DEC will not open r FO who disparate and want to become captains ASAP .thinking DEC is taking their chance .remember they will get their command soon and company commercial needs for DEC has became real threat for both ops and cost .that had been ever since emirates started,FO thinks they own emirates ,it's not yours guys grow up . Dec will be implemented weather u like it or not or some top guns manager will be fired.
