Please define a "Proven track record" I have 12000 hours but having spent the last decade working for my ever shrinking national carrier I never got a command on a jet (that mythical and oh so hard to fly beast) Yet I have operated on long haul wide body ops all over the globe. I haven't been at Emirates long, but I have been there a darn sight longer than any DEC.
Is this a proven track record? My last company didn't sack me, I didn't crash any aeroplanes & I manged to get through the EK selection procedure (unlike many DEC applicants)
You see I am confused, once you become a captain are you so much better? Is it a case of once a captain then always a captain?
Whilst the management make their decisions whether we like it or not, it does gall me somewhat to listen to tripe from colleagues basically disparaging every EK F/O
As for 411A, are you familiar with the word "Tosser"in the USA, I suggest you obtain a British published dictionary.
