Perhaps I'm jumping the gun here, but is this another person in a high percentage of pilots from a certain country, who has generally been a pain in the ass? I am not one to typically 'generalize' but why does EK seem to attract such a high percentage of clowns from there?
I have limited experience with these pilots, although I do hear them on the radio all the time, and to be honest its embarassing.............. what with their.......... Roger that SIR, understand cleared down to 2 4 OH SIR.
But I have heard nothing but bad reports from my colleagues.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel once again EK......... good work.
If i get one more of these Yahoos telling me about their lunch date with ED, I think i'm going to puke. Why do these pilots, especially the F/O's feel compelled to tell me of the insider knowledge that ED has imparted to them during one of these lunch dates? Do they not realize the man has no credibility and no respect from any decent human being? But aside from that fact, am I the only one to realize that it is inbred in their culture to associate with, pay homage to and generally kiss the ass of anyone in a position of power even if not warranted ?
I am shocked and completely dismayed that until my time at EK, I had thought that the average person from this country was no different from the average person from most countries. Keeping in mind that pilots are generally more informed or at least more worldly than the average person (simple due to having experienced things outside of the motherland in conjunction with at least a certain amount of education), but if this is the cream of the crop from the good'ole US of .............. then this world is in serious trouble.
Keep in mind that 50% voted for a moron.............. IN THE LAST TWO elections. Enough said.
