If they used the correct figures and cleared the barrier by the appropriate height then why the disciplinary or is there more to this? I also agree that all this hot air about how many hours and what other supposed ratings the DEC's have, has no relevance unless the guy is a test pilot from Boeing or he just came back from flying the space shuttle. I do, however, agree that an ASR is appropriate in relation to the barrier. A small percentage of the DEC's come from the top echelon of airlines.These are airlines that fly longhaul widebody aircraft and have done for many years.
The best performance from a DEC is when he learns to accept and operate the company's SOP's, even if he disagrees with them and when he can fit into the expat way of life. Then you may find they might have some acceptance amongst the first officers. However, amongst some they won't ever be accepted and I can sympathise with their reasoning as well.
