Kiwi you are right i am pissed off along with all the other f/o's however i have served my time here and am doing my upgrade that still does not mean i will be quiet on the DEC issue. The post may be there to wind people up however the people applying as DEC's need to know the feeling of the guys in EK and PPRUNE is the only way to get the message out.
p.s the EK uniform is cheap and nasty with the tailors being from the sub continent where it is normal to wear clothes two sizes too big!! as you noticed on the f/o in chc!!
