Interesting discussion in-between the unnecessary mudslinging by certain egos..
Now in my forth year as an Emirates checklist reader.. Without the mandate to call ‘STOP’ on a reject.. Start the aircrafts engines.. land the aircraft in anything resembling a ‘cross wind’.. etc. etc.
Truth is Emirates are not preparing their F/O’s for Command.
Thank God I came here with 1000hrs in the left seat with a ‘blue chip’ carrier that has an adult mind-set to operating an Airliner. Whom I can confirm prepare their F/O’s from day one.. F/O’s ‘sign the tech log’ on all their PF sectors.. Imagine that here!?
Mind you, no chance of Command in Emirates for me as p**is and bo***cks found retrospectively wanting at only 45tons instead of this apparently magical 55tons, funny I’d never had any complaints in the past!?
