Is there not a policy that there will be no accelerated commands when there are 3 year FOs waiting? We all know EK does what it sees fit, the pilot group be damm but where is the justification? Just to show everyone how screwed up their system is at least 75% of the pilots making the upgrade transition are MFF qualified. They won't upgrade the 3 1/2 yr pilots but they will upgrade the 2 1/2 year and less pilots?
The rumour mill says that 18 Airbus FOs had their class cancelled and they won't be running again until Sept. That is going to put a huge backlog in the system for a majority of the EK pilots just to satisfy 30 or so "special" pilots. It is time to bring an end to this gross injustice.
