"I’m sure we will get the bottom of the barrel again."
Well B2. Considering that everyone who joined after 2005 is from the "bottom of the barrel" according to LHR Rain I think EK is doing a pretty good job. Probably because his extreme skills are spreading throughout the EK pilot community.
Thank god he has not been able to get another job despite sending out his CV in 2005. He will forever make sure EK has the highest standards despite bottom scrapers like you joining as DEC.
