1.- anybody knows why Captain Ibrahim Alseouni had only OVER 7000 hrs?
Being staff number 202xxx, how is that possible?
I estimate not less than 17 years in EK.
Just conjecture on my part, but he may have been employed in some other capacity before becoming g a cadet. The Cadet scheme is then about four years and they graduate as line FOs with around 800 hrs.
Crew were terminated with 72 hrs after the Melbourne accident seems a little different now...
Were they not re instated ? Later to be asked to leave to insure provident fund was received
AFAIR they were never terminated as such, but it was made clear to them that it was in their best interest to leave.
I think what's different now is one, someone died and two, the Captain was a local.
