6+ sounds about right. Many of the 330/ 340 guys going through the upgrade right now are 6.5 to 7.5 years. For QOL the 380 is probably the fleet to aim for, depending on what you classify as QOL....

You have pretty much summed it up in your question. That's exactly how it is. I prefer the window seat, slightly more secluded from the aisle traffic. The only way to go side by side is in the...

There are certain times of day in Dubai that you will find aircraft holding. Normally this will be for 10-20 minutes, but can be a lot longer. Throw in some fog and it can easily be an hour. Rush...

They may well have them in most of the aircraft, but if people are honest with themselves, they are not really fit for purpose. Bad design, bad location. How many ASRs does it take? Apparently not...

As is rightly mentioned, we are fairly well protected while we are in EK accommodation. What we see at the end of the month is our pocket money. If you are inclined to take on additional roles, SFI...

Just to give a realistic income for an EK F/O. Four plus years with kids at school I've never cleared more than 28k on a normal month. Not complaining, just giving it as it is. Long term EK would...

Like Goretex, I've been very fortunate over the last few years. Peak leave of some kind each year.
The days of picking up a few "green" days are dead and buried.

Goretex,

Thanks for the stella advice.

I have one simple question, why can't a 380 f/o who meets the requirements be given a shot at a command on the 330?

EK has decided that this is how...

Payscale,

Indeed 6-7 years to a 380 command would be an achievement. But the reality is 10, 15 or even 20 years. We have a number of managers who have gone from zero time in EK to their current...

HKA 330 Captain T&C's

Myself and a number of colleagues are looking at options for a move from the sandpit. Could someone who actually works at HKA advise us of the actual T&C's for a captain on the 330. This way we can...

Odericko,

I'm not sure what you are hoping for by a move to EK, apart from you and your wife's employer being located in the same area.
