Seems to me that johnpilot, far from having his emmotions (sic) under control, is struggling with his own conscience over his employment at Emirates as a DEC. And this is manifesting itself as absurd postings attempting to justify, mainly to himself, his recent career choice.
Also absurd is that he makes himself so readily identifiable to anyone with the mildest interest about who the person might be who is posting these poorly disguised cries for help. He appears to want to be found out.
The following excerpt from a posting by johnpilot dated 22nd September '03:
"To all you guys at Emirates it is sad to hear that even your airline is beggining to change its behaviour towards its pilot body. It seems that after 9/11 the industry is in a complete mess, and that every manager's dream of fu..ing the pilots is coming true. I just hope that when the time comes and the market changes all of us have the tenacity and audacity to pay them back in the same way. DEC is not good news especially when it is not commom practice in operations. Emirates is becoming another Singapore, or Gulfair, and even Qatar airways might look pretty interesting to you guys pretty soon.
For those who have been there long enough, I am sure it is business as usual, for those that have joined recently well I am sure its going to be an interesting period. For those who were about to join, or who will join, I wish them luck."
