I think everybody agrees with your sentiment that the whole process of CMD distribution at EK is flawed. ( unless your the guy getting the quick command of course !)
I feel the main gripe people have is the belittlement of charter command.
You can't give the charter guys who get the quick commands grief, or suggest there previous experience is irrelevent, you gotta give EK management grief for allowing it to happen!!( especially the DEC's who are from S/Haul no nightstop background!)
I still really feel that with the continued expansion at EK and the imminent arrival of the A380, there will be enough commands for everyone who's a half decent operator and been in the sand pit for more than three years, in the next 18 months or so.
I can understand your frustrations
Good luck
