I'm also reading (sadly on PPRUNe) of a lot of discontent with upgrade/DEC etc.. I've also got an interview with EK the following month, it will be interesting to see what both offer.. To be honest though, I'd dump both if I could just find a decent AND STABE job here in the US!
If in fact they could make it commutable, I would be far more inclined..
I've also got an in on an A300-600 startup cargo in China, but then we're back to crap pay and no medical!
