Grow up
What is wrong with you people? You are more catty than a bunch of teenage girls.
Give the guy a break, the bottom line is did Brian want to be “employed or unemployed”, Pension or no pension” in today’s American Economy Duh…he took the road that 99 percent of us would have done, that is of course unless you are one of the lucky ones in life, that have NO bills to pay.
As for the part in which you think Brian is sucking up to management, what do you expect Brian to say? ”Yeah Emirates gave me a job, but it sucks”…get real and stop bitching and complaining, maybe Brian happens to be more qualified than some of you, if he went in as a DEC, you guys sound like little boys that didn’t get picked for the football team. I challenge any of you to say that if you had the qualification for a DEC, you would have turned the offer down because you don't want to jump ahead of the first officers. Come on guys, grow up. Act professional but maybe that's not easy for some.
