Probably not. I attended the last roadshow in ATL. A number of us in attendance asked about the DEC program. The company representatives pretty much shot it down. They seemed to really go out of their way to try to discourage it. They said that the program was coming to an end. That they would only consider "highly qualified" but to go ahead and apply. Also, if you are age 56 or beyond, forget it. Age discrimination is not illegal in the emirate.
When I told them that I was current, had 12,000 total and plenty of PIC time on the 767 and 737NG they said my airplanes weren't "big enough".
Maybe it was because the company representatives were british and not american, but I really didn't get the warm and fuzzy from them. Like they said, apply anyway and see what happens.
Sorry, maybe Typhoon has more information.
