What PJ describes can be put as one of the root causes for a 777 being parked off piste sans landing gear. The Muppets on the third floor are directly responsible for many of the incidences that happen at this place. They use a HR disciplinary process to relieve themselves of any responsibility of man management. Most EK pilots have no idea what their chief pilot looks like, let alone the deputies, deputy deputy, and the deputy deputy deputy in waiting. They just see signature blockes on emails of warnings and accusation.
To have one of these muppets tell Divertnow all about the guilty bast@rds (hmmmm I wonder which one has a big mouth?) highlights how they have no clue of the responsibilities of their positions.
EK decided some years ago to cheap out and hire everyone with 2000hrs on a barbyjet rather than pay market rates and continue to hire pilots with experience. They cut training to bare minimum from what it was before. And relied on a modern fleet to protect it from this lack of experience they were embracing. All the time, those that did have some experience left for pastures mostly more Asian. The ratio of experienced to junior pilots tilted in a major way to the junior side. Management (sic) were warned of this at any meeting that they attended, but this was met with "If you don't like it leave!". And pilots have. We now have these 2000hr barbyjet pilots as TRI/TREs after only the minimum required time as a line pilot. These pilots have been dealt a tampered hand. At no time have these pilots been given an opportunity to learn the trade. They never had the chance to sit watch and learn from experienced pilots. How can they be expected to have the tools to fall back on when operating fatigued, back of the clock, or in new situations.
How can EK expect the incident rate not to increase? It is of their own doing.
