Seamen ,
You are indeed an arrogant prick. It is attitudes like that causes no sympathy for the plight of the EK f/os. The assumption that because you passed some two bit selection makes you a superior professional is nonsense. EK people themselves admit its as much as if your face fits as anyhting else. Oh and a wake up call matey, it isnt that hard doing third to first to third world longhaul. It isnt a skill exclusive to ek pilots What you do is easily picked up by average joe. You and your ilk are indicative of a superiority complex as a result of confusing the expat pedestal you live on with your professional status.Its a common symptom of people living half way up a hierarchical society. You start to believe the housegirl and and your own hype.The " ek is the best "flat earth society. I could give you a list of pilots in ek from my past who have passed your selection but have yet to pass a real set of licensing proceeedures in the real world. Read into that what you will.
I passed ek selection 2.5 years ago. Ive been invited to apply as a captain this time , still not going. Mostly because of people like you. If you made a career cock up get over it. If your flying is as good as your career choices , its you that is the bottom of the barrel. The selection was and always was a walk in the park,for a white UK atpl holder, their rules not mine, so crawl out from inside your own arse and you might get a bit of sympathy for the @ss pounding your management are giving you.
