For clarification, are you saying that Emirates is no longer hiring DEC's, or that there are not an adequate number of applicants for DEC positions?
Second question: Are Emirates First Officers being upgraded to Emirate Captain positions? Which fleets are short-staffed, and and what is the expected time to Captain upgrade for new hire First Officers?
