Hi guys...
interesting reading the different points of view......my take on it all is....you all need to look at yourselves as pilots.
Ek is not a flying school its an airline and hires airline pilots. If you are not a airline pilot then go back to GA.
EK is not the only Airline in the world requiring a minimum standard....Try Qantas, Cathay, British Airways, Singapore..etc
I have been through the EK system and have found it as challeging as anyone. But rest assured I can sleep at night knowing my wife and kids are on board an EK flight.
You study you pass....you dont you may get through
Best advice I can give is study hard and give it your best. If you need some help then ask for it. I did both and had a great response. All the guys I approached in the training dept were great and easy to talk too and very helpful.
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness its a strenght that makes us better pilots......
Now back to the good stuff.......
who has been fired for drinking!!!!!!
