EK pilot...are you serious?
The Co. have decided to apply their profit share SOP to the letter of the law - no target, no bonus.
The letter said not even a "token" deviation from their SOP of bonus giving is acceptable as it is against company policy.
Do you have any clue what would happen if we, the safety people, applied the same strict adherence to SOPs as our leaders and mentors advocate?
-Full TOGA take off when possibility of w/shear exists ...well that just about covers all of Asia
-Gear & flaps at G/S alive
-APU on during after landing flow
-Single Eng taxi around the worlds busiest airports with a GE 90 - eh no.
-Extra fuel for enroute wx
-Discretion to extend FTL
...the list goes on.
I for one will not adjust the way I have always operated ... But that's just me. (& before you say anything you don't know whether I did the above before 5/9)
Cannot speak for the other 3500
After all it has come from the top...not even a token deviation from policy.
There are 50 shades of grey...the co are back & white.
