Whitenight,
The ATSB is looking into MFF as a causal factor now! This news came out, after I commented that they should delve into that area. I'm not saying it was definitely a factor in this instance, but it certainly was in Joburg.
The whole of EK is not represented by your personal experiences. In other words, sometimes people reach levels of currency that are not conducive to their proficiency, even if they follow SOP's. You stated that a person should change his bidding if he finds himself 89 days between types, so therefore you agree that the 90 day policy is not a good one, yet you contradict yourself by stating that the MFF policy can in no way affect a pilot's proficiency if he follows SOP's. If the policy is sound and there is no decrease in proficiency, then why should a pilot alter his bidding practice to reduce that limit??
Bad 'gen' coming from certain individuals in the training department means there is, or was, an issue regarding teaching the proper technique. You are quick to deny contributing factors to an accident, if these factors have not affected YOU. It is astounding how you are quick to blame the pilots and you have no desire to delve further into the matter to look at the underlying causes.
You might want to read the post about management styles/personalities X or Y in the EK forum.
