Albert of Arabia,
Good points, quite right. Must admit forgot about the kitchen staff (
) shortage. Sorry boys and girls.
Amazing, dangle a carrot about ANY Emirates subject and everyone's friend Mr. 411A will certainly have something to say. Mention direct entry captains and he'll always have a lot to say!
"Young captains, not up to the job, not qualified, huffing/puffing guys, ...." SNORE! Change the record chap.
411A, for everyone's at Emirates', ahh, what the hell, make it worldwide benefit, what in your opinion is a "
properly qualified First Officer " anyway?
This should be interesting from someone who once claimed to have a command at 29! Refreash my memory B737 or B707?
millerscourt,
Warlock 2000 Your offer to do extra overtime is unlikely to be considered as a cure
Not too sure about that, ran the numbers and (simplisticly) if the boys are prepared to spread the joy, financialy it would be cheaper for the airline to pay existing captains overtime than to employ direct entry captains.
No disrespect intended, just trying to look after our own.
