I once had a TRE tell me that the biggest mistake EK has made in this whole debacle, is that they stopped hiring DEC's.
He was f$&@"g lucky I have a good sense of humour!!
I personally have no issue with the Individual, just the "Policy". Especially when we have some very capable guys in the RHS!! EK should only be going down this path when there are no "Upgradeable" F/O's. And IF and only IF DEC's are required they should be type rated with experience commensurate with the same field of operations, not some Plonker who's got a million sectors crossing the "Chanel" and never used HF!!
What an Utterly Disgraceful Company!
