varigflier,
In case you are referring to my question about the CRM between pilots and cabin crew with your comment on atmosphere , than I am not sure what you are getting at. In my previous airline the annual CRM classes were held mixed with cc since the CRM with them (that kind of interaction) was considered equally important for which I am in favour. We can all go flying in a tube for hours and do our jobs but it is the interaction among the crew which attributes to a pleasant flight as well.
In case you were not referring to my question, perhaps you would like to explain?
About your comment on the low amount of expat F/O's, perhaps that has more to do with the fact that they are not on anyone''s seniority list and that they do not have the opportunity to upgrade to Command...what do you think?
