Suspicious Numbers
Cody V, I have to take issue with your 76% number on DEC failures. That is just not the case. You data is not accurate and while I'm on the subject, the insinuation that DECs are treated badly by FOs is also bunk. I flew with the most professional FOs you can imagine (with one exception and this guy was just mad at the world..) and every trip but one was a sincere pleasure.
Now, as one of the recently departed, I would strongly recommend serious conisderation of the "facts" before coming to EK. Integrity is non existent in the culture despite the advertising to the opposite. You will be held to a different set of standards than management is held tol
It was my personal opinion that management hoped the pilot force was just stupid enough to believe their spin on everything from cost cutting to rostering to accident investigation. Fortunately, this was not the case and the pilots are able to see through the ruse.
If you are unemployed, then EK is probably a good option. If you have a job with any satisfaction, then a move to the sand should be seriously reconsidered. Having lived through the changes of the last 15 months, it is just not a job I can recommend at this time.
