as an American pilot at EK you are treated like a second class citizen as if you have no knowledge of aviation or flying. You are looked down on because EK considers you slack and your RT to be horrible and if you were on the RJ, your hours/experience are discriminated against by both fleet management and training

Not sure about this claim of discrimination. I would expect that from some of the folk to the east of here but from a yank - a bit surprising.


Anyway in all fairness sorry to say it but the average yank IS slack and DOES have horrible RT or they wouldn't be known for it. If the horrible RT adheres to some sort of standard in the USA well fine, I suppose, but why bring with you it to a regulatory region on the other side of the world??? Why not just do it properly here?


Discriminated against because of your standards? Frankly I'm surprised you can still find anyone who gives a fcuk in this place.
