Nor does being in the left seat make you competent. Just cause you managed to get through the hurdle of being a captain at EK does not make you god's gift to aviation. There is someone beside you who is second in command and is a "captain in training" for one day he will be in your seat. CRM my friend and respect is what this airline lacks....it is all BS. We talk about the big picture and using all your resources and the best resource is sitting next to you and in the cabin as well...that is what makes a good captain...but a majority of you think it is a very lonely seat there on the left side. Hypocrisy at its best. But you are right in that sense cause anything we do the company fires you. So maybe it is the company culture that stinks and FO's will always be treated like ****. Its all a learning curve in aviation and everyday we are learning....maybe crew sched should roster you on your own sonny.
