Roughly half of US daily commercial departures are conducted by branded regional affiliates operating under scope agreements voted on by US major pilots.
These pilots are paid nothing and are treated terribly..BUT Tom gloats because they operate under FAA FTLs they are the envy of EK pilots...
...the only envy is Toms - having failed a DEC assessment that his two buddies passed a number of years ago.
Tom uses a very pure and hallowed word for airline pilots at the drop of a hat: scab.
No one at EK crossed an EK picket line. There is no union : Ipso facto....there can be no scab.
The lowest paid regional EK FO (FlyDubai - no disrespect guys) gets paid about $100,000 pa tax free. (Possibly more)... Roughly five times in the US.
America is great...but your argument is baseless...as was your application.
