Judging from the replies on this thread the command upgrade pass rate must be quite low in KA. What some of you need to realise is that the spoon feeding days of the Sabena, SAS, or Swiss and the like are all over. No one is going to take you by the hand and teach you how to be an airline captain. You have your 5000+ hrs experience and it is entirely up to you to demonstrate your command ability to the company.
There is no perfect job in Aviation and as far as I am concerned Dragon is still one of the best jobs around.
If you lot are not happy come back to Europe and join the likes of Thompson, Volare or whatever flying over 1000 hrs a year for about 3000 euros a month.
