Broakenenglish, I never expected to see that again!
I must have just been dumped on when I wrote it.
However, I wasn't griping at the DEcs , just the way EK had gone about it at that time and how it was going to effect us if things did not change.
Since then (I think)their conditions of employment have changed and ours as well. So I am not quite as bitter and twisted as I was then, thankfully, or I would probably have left by now. (or died)
I still just don't understand, why guys feel the need to get pissed off at DECs in general on a personal/professional basis. If you have a gripe about some one in particular fine.
If you feel that your career is being stuffed up by the company employing DECs then Get pissed at the company, as I was, and pointed out to me by broakenenglish above.
LHR rain: just how exactly are DECs to blame? Blame for what?
we can go back a little further and Blame, the idiot in Gulf air who couldn't fly an orbit at night or the F/O who could not take over!
They were to blame for the new requirements/ restrictions on upgrades, and while we're at it lets blame the guys who failed their upgrade transitions, which put a stop to that happening for a long time and now with heavy restrictions to try to prvent the same from happening. Or lets blame the guys who have had accidents and incidents within Ek lately and scared the !!!! out of everyone!
F-ckit lets blame all the guys that are yet to have their accidents as well
