Atiuta did not miss the point and his points hardly make him stupid. Every one's ranting, raving, bitching and windging is another matter however.
Why does every thread with the slightest mention of DECs and new recruitment schemes result in such childish over reaction? Yes we all know you may have had your command delayed by your perceptions and are p_ssed off. Get over it. Life is short enjoy it while you can and don't buy into pointless, hateful diatribes.
Try and keep the big picture in focus guys and not be so insular.
So, what if you manage to scare off all potential recruits for the next year?
Do you think that you will get better conditions or an earlier upgrade?
If so at what cost?
How many aircraft will end up getting parked up against the fence?
You will not be able to do your upgrade until an F/O has been hired and trained to do your job first. By exaggerating the DEC situation beyond reality you are not doing yourselves any favours at all, in fact you do more harm to yourself and the rest of us working for EK than good.
The one constant in EK is it's expansion if we can't support it and aircraft have to be parked, sold or delayed then the whole thing comes to an end and we all end up working for a company that is stagnant. Then you will have to wait for people to die, retire or resign before you get an opportunity to upgrade. Most of us have been there and hope to hell never to see it again.
EK is simply trying to recruit for it's needs and plan for it's future requirements, as it can. If you plan on sticking around for any length of time then EK's future is your future. Don't f_ck it up. They make enough mistakes without your help.
