Do NOT expect to be valued at this company by anyone, period.
Whaaaat?
Utter bollocks, and you know it
SOME might not listen to you, but most will. Period.
Unless you come up with some weird stuff, like '
you should engage the AP as soon as possible after TO, Captain, or we might be in trouble with the company in case you fu.. up'.
I'm sure my reputation precedes me, and I know I'm average at best, but seriously?
I have not seen the face of fear factor here in EK the last 15+ years, but I'm sure there might be some with a few of my fellow aviators. But not many.

I don’t blame them, the company fosters this attitude by holding them responsible for every micro event that happens on a flight. So of course they take it upon themselves to make every decision and naturally distrust everyone around them. If you think you are going to come here and be respected as a professional, forget it. You could be flying into your home base, or a destination which you have flown into hundreds of time, it won’t make a difference. Do NOT expect to be valued at this company by anyone, period. Fear factor here is real and a big problem and it is only getting worse.
