Info on A/C Emirates hiring into currently?

End of line for upgrade? Is it not seniority-based upgrade? Merit?

Upgrade is by seniority ON TYPE. So if you switch fleets you loose your relative position in the upgrade queue.

So, let's say you're on the A330 and you're 60 numbers away from upgrade. Fleet decides to switch you onto the A380 and now you have to get the 2000 hours on type (Or whatever the current requirement is; they do change) and you're behind everyone else on that fleet that's senior to you. I know a few guys who had to fight tooth and nail from NOT being transferred to the A380.

Hope that make's it a bit clearer?
