And don't see the chance of many Boeing pilots going to the 380. Hope this helps a little.
So, there is a possibility of hiring into the A380 when they arrive? The reason why I asked is that I heard that some retiring Delta pilots (early retirements) were told that they would get the "fast track" to the A380 when it arrived if they brought their 20,000+ hours of experience to EK. This was a year or two ago and completely 2nd hand information but that is what I heard.........
