stupid politics going on that's a reason behind. Every manager is trying to escape any kind of responsibility pushing the ball through the next door. Sure if a DEC does do a damage it's just a little mistake happening worldwide and more important no one is to blame. Upgrading people requires ability to take responsibility. Our management lets rather two captains fly together costing hell a lot of cash to the company but to take that responsibility. It's a wonder how some people became manager at last?? The whole situation is pathetic causing a huge shortage of first officers. The companies world wide are fighting for them offering fast tracks. Time to smell the roses for our team?
