I happen to know how a hf works and quite easily show other pilots to be confident in its use on oceanic routes in one lesson.Operating out of the gulf, using a hf, longhaul new sops etc etc are not disciplines exclusive to a dodgy dubai validation .Therefore identifying specific operational trivia over combined experinece is disengenious and belittles the true problem of your management taking the piss out of you, not the DEC. These arguments just highlight the collective chip and demonstrtae a nievete (?) of knowledge concerning the true stae of the industry.
Shockwave , it was the principle of double standards from the anti dec crowd that i was sniping at , not you personnaly
