IŽll keep Discovering
EZGOEK330FO has many good points on his messages. I have made my mind and I'll keep discovering. It seem like EK didn't count well enough their crew needs. Now, you are working until dropping...
Also, for the FO's who's been long enough at EK and closing up the upgrade will be very pissed off due to possible DEC's. That is very dissapointing moment. I hope the upper managment at EK realize soon enough that there are limited amount of qualified guys available.
I belive it's not only due to lack of sim slots. Obviously it's so much cheeper for the company to hire a DEC than upgrade one FO, giving him training and then to replace this FO by hiring new FO and to give a training to him too. Especially when time and crew shortage is present.
It requires more than fancy and shiny airplanes to relocate. The quality of life and the athmosphere where you work is the most important thing. I am sure that EK will find out soon, in a bitter way, that the CRM should extend well beyond the cockpit!
