I want to smoke what LNAV VNAV - has been smoking!
Ion: SPOT ON MATE!
MORALE HIGH, seriously? I'm guessing that LNAV VNAV - is one of the recent command upgrades, living on cloud 9.
Other than that I can only see people that are looking at greener pastures, Bahrainis and expats alike.
As for Landflap: some talented f/o's have been failing the command interviews, that with a little bit of tweaking would have made excellent captains. Guys with a proven track record as f/o and great marks on their assessment flights. Yet everything rides on that interview. Wouldn't one rather upgrade someone that you've known for years with a proven track record, that knows all the routes and procedures (and maybe needs a little guidance/training) than someone you didn't even bother to SIM CHECK? This narrow minded vision of our management is leaving a wake of demoralised and insulted F/o's behind it. Again with zero accountability to answer for.
Now it's just waiting for the next wave of resignations.
Happy landings,
FORCE
