Speak for yourself crtical whinge. The DEC will not be most welcome no matter how short we are of crews.
The FCI that came out was nothing more than a declaration to hire DECs and screw the current FOs. So the DECs will come in and make more money than most current captains even though they probably don't have the experience of the captains flying the line.
Why didn't the company learn from the last batch of DECs? How many problems have they had with them? Is this batch (and there are going to lot's of DEC let's face it) going to be any different?
Keep in mind when you apply and come here you are at the very least leap-frogging the FOs and at the worst taking the jobs of the FOs and delaying their commands. I am sure that bit of information won't effect your decision. Good luck to all of the DECs
