Very interesting analysis there by MR8.
In the mean time, Angelo's twin brother, Felipe just stayed at Air Mickey, flying low cost B737's over Italy
Finally we have an admission that Angelo came from Air Mickey.
Although Felipe never flew a wide body, never left the European skies, thinks that ETOPS is a strange disease and Dhaka the capital of some African country, EK offers him a DEC course on the B777.
You make assumptions that every DEC is from the same background you came from (sorry I mean Angelo

). Well that just shows how well informed you are, believe it or not quite a few DEC's were longhaul widebody skippers since the days you were in diapers. But what the heck you have to vent your frustration somewhere so go ahead. The reality is that no one promised you command after 3 years what they did say is that
you will be eligible for command after a minimum of 3 years.
If you want to work for the fastest growing airline then you must take the good with the bad boys. You simply cannot have the cake and eat it too.
