Garlic and cheese and a glass of red Bordeaux any day instead of a Yorkshire pudding with over-or undercooked vegetables and pint of warm p1ssbeer without the foam, Oblaas. And you don`t need outboard engines for that floating museum of yours, it's already pulled towards the other continent by sheer magnetism. (Actually I could have gone much further and talk about subjects outside this forum which give away the tremendous weaknesses of a people that drives on the wrong side of the road and still think they are right about everything, but I won't do that. Not now.)

Funny that training philosophy differences comes with culture. Ancient versus innovative, progressive.

Same goes for EK, stuck in a retrospective airline culture, a business plan stolen from the first world carriers(you didn't know this, the business units ek has, engineering, flight ops etc. get a budget each year after negotiating and have to make a profit on that budget. This is still the most ancient bus. plan around and has never been changed. It has been proved wrong), the same ones that now have superior training systems.

Saying that you have a non punitive reporting system, a 'wonderful' career for Fo's, a low power distance in the flight deck and doing the opposite, is not very noble. Nor professional.
