There have been a lot of resignations recently,from a lot of pilots who recruit,teach CRM and help out in office on various projects.New payment structure means that there's nothing to be gained from extra effort and contribution other than a PAY CUT! All your friends who are lining up to take over may have changed their position now that new T & C's are in place.
With regards to your little dig at Emirates Captains,perhaps i should point out that any Major,well respected Airline would only give a Command to someone who indeed has the ability to monitor and assess all the different teams that work together to allow a flight to safely depart.You see,if just one of those links in the chain fails,the results,on a bad day,can be unthinkable and guess who is the first person to arrive at the scene of a crash..... yes,the pilot.He is normally the one who always gets the blame as well because the final responsibility will rest with the Captain! I wish you well on your command course WHEN it comes up because you most certainly ain't in that left seat yet,that's for sure!
off to boss some more people around on another forum,bye!
