For one thank you Marcellus for giving us your worthy note on CRM, at least one who is pragmatic and efficient in analysing these threads.
And rightly said that it does not take much to wind up EK F/D, you think that the world stops in the nebula of the ops retinue and should feel obliged to you for treating us with a slight bit of consideration. I have you cheap lot around for dinner and seen the ones who drop their trousers collapsing on sofas etc.....
And you want respect, I would suggest you first behave like a captain treat your crew with respect and you will get the same in return with perhaps no one spitting in your coffee 1+1 in your special starbucks mug!
But I could have not said it better:
In my opinion, the occasional conflict or lack of understanding boils down to certain individuals who hail from the eastern med..
Please notify us of the opening of the BNP branch so we can join you in for a geek hunt!
If your comment did not sound an alarm anywhere alse it tells me of your lack of confidence in confronting and dealing with "Eastern med" types.
Now that also tells me how good your CRM is and how reliable you are as a leader in manageing your ressource to maintain safe and efficient flights.
By saying so you've already identified a threat where it does not exist.
Boy you should be sent back to school to do a bit of history for you to realise how close you are to infringing social and political etiquete with such comments, that is if you haven't done so already.
Worse though is that you live in the middle East and expect everyone to behave according to your norms......Well well!
But then to add:
Its amazing how nice, friendly, funny and intelligent CC can be when not being coerced and harassed by these individuals
So in mensaboy's head crew are simply stupid!
If anything a blatant lack of culture, manners and education! But then again what would you expect from an OZ farmer who's been dustcropping all his life b4 he came to DXB.
Eat your sandwich eat! And choke on it as far as I care.
You will onlny get what you deserve from the Midlle Easterners and I am sure that they are giving you your change back.
And by the way I waited for some of you to appear and celebrate with me the Oktoberfest but no one pitched up, probably short on cash hey?
