DECs destroy moral, cause conflict and friction. If EK hired DECs, they would probably get a dozen decent ones and loose many times more in potential well qualified FOs and an exodus from some in house.

This is why the majority of well established carriers do not practice this policy.

The deliveries of the 50 777 just ordered will not occur til 2015. So an FO who joins the company today with the minimum requirement of 4000 hours will be there for about 4 years. At about 900 hours per year, they should be ready.
