Thanks for the words of encourgement from you thoughtful pilots. You do have well metioned points and I will try to follow them. However I have to take issue with GULFA who said that the DEC are innocent aviators. They are not innocnet and should not be treated as such. They knew the consquences of their actions when they applied (and no one forced them to apply) and even when they came to Dubai for a visit. It is industry knowledge weather fair or not that someone who jumps someones seniority or takes anothers jobs is a pretty low person with no honor. This should not change.
A fellow pilot put in his post that I should get my P1 and get out. That is my intention but I am having a hard time getting that P1 time when my commnad keeps getting further and further away from me, or at least appears to be anyway. If no DECs came the company would have to upgrade us qualified FOs who are jerking gear for DECs who never flew a widebody.
