Yes we do agree on some things including the Aussie factor here at EK. What they do in the cockpit goes beyond the mim. and might even cause FOs to tune out while they go on and on about briefings, wx, airport conditions, pay conditions, work enviroment, mangement etc etc. There logic is why say something in 2 sentences when you can say it it 7 sentences.
But having said that the problems at EK go way above the Aussie factor that you metion. Mike O'Grady is the top Aussie here and I don't think he is responsible for the DECs or T&C changes and overall low moral.
Maybe we can agree on more in the future since we are such a roll!
