Just a quick update ...was in office today for some work, very soon they will be sending new email since it was supposed to be 4 years and not 2 years.
Any company which has to resort to such measures is giving clear signs of problem. First it was FO bond of $50000 for 5 years now this one...Habibi won’t accept that no one willing to Join EK ...... and Yes there is nothing called “Fear Factor” ...... it’s real fear....fear of flying the airplane the EK way...
every pilot recruited by EK came with at lest 4000-6000 jet hours (not the recent recruits with 1000 hours total) these pilots never had any problems in their previous life....of course, because every one submitted a no incident and accident certificate plus each pilot had a reference from his previous employer, who wrote a testimony for this would be EK pilot. These pilots after joining EK suddenly start having handling issues and all the PAMS were assessed as 3 and even 2 .....so where is the problem....is it the recruitment team who are not able to filter....or is it the training department...who think the star they wear is one from the galaxy...and they think they know every thing and fly the aircraft even better than Auto pilot
I think it’s the training department and the trigger happy Habibis who are to be blamed for EKs present image.
Most of the Airlines first have a training day and next day is PPC. At least this is how it was in my previous 2 companies. Here it’s opposite. How can you check some one when you have not let him manually fly the airplane for last 6 months. So at least first train the guy and then check him on the second day. PPC does not give a certificate that for next 6 months this pilot will not do any mistakes and all his PAMS have been assessed and fixed. Things can go wrong with anyone anytime. But then let’s fix the problem by training, not by issuing warning letters.
Hope the managers accept the problem in their management and fix it before it’s too late.
it takes long to climb but no one cares when the graph slides ...people are quick to change their bets on a promising stock
