Obla, thanks, but I don't need the luck. Been in LHS for years. And your final post, I can agree with. My points are that EK does not foster any sort professional development as other airlines do. Second, why the failures on the B and not the A? If there is a significant amount of failures, I believe someone needs to identify areas that need improvement, better recruiting, yearly performance reviews other than PPCs, evaluations by line captains...... Amazingly, other airlines seem to get along just fine without an untrained psych profiler (SP) digging into an outdated, irrelevant psychological profil test and looking for psychological deficiencies. And who determines what those deficiencies are for a pilot/captain? So throw all that away and someone answer why there are significantly more failures on the Boeing (fact) than the Airbus?
