How it relates to the discussion.....well.....my post was a reaction to “Mr takeingover” who has an opinion on the EK FO's being ready or not for the LHS.
He puts this in the context of the DEC discussion.
My question to him is in fact directly related to the whole EK training department. DEC is their decision. In this context they should reflect also on themselves.
You can look at all various parameters and criticise your FO on his professionalism with regards to flight preparation.
But what is the point to check if an alternate is suitable or not if you do not know if you can actually use it?
So what is it ATS or ATC? How does EK despatch from SIN to MEL?
Do they need a DEC to come and explain that to them too?
