White Knight,
The last of the FOs that were lied to about DECs not delaying upgrades are very soon to be upgraded. Those remaining knew all about it when signing on the line, and agreed to it. I think its very premature to think that the end of the DEC is nigh. EK is no different from SQ or KAL etc now, and DECs are now a part of life.
John pilot, read your first post again, and then tell us you do not need some of this reassurance you are accusing FOs of needing??? But I am sure that Wiley will be very interested in your short field takeoff tips for the B777
.
Keep recovering.
Don
