EK: Is EGT leaving EK?

[perthbound]

Someone who says they are in the know says EGT is on his way out and has submitted his resignation letter.

Has anyone heard anything?

Maybe he is going to become the night manager at the Winchester hotel (Inside joke from a few years ago)

[Talparc]

The only place for him is North Korea!

[SOPS]

North Korea is the only place that would have him,

The uniform will probably be more to his liking anyway.

[flareflyer]

Who is EGT????

[kcar]

Who is EGT????
Evil Goblin Tim?
I don’t know actually but curious too..

[PositiveRate876]

Who is EGT????


Everyone at EK knows who EGT is. Just ask around.
Hint: A not very well liked management type from the DDR.

[olster]

EG is East German and the T is a well known pejorative term in Anglo Saxon expletive deleted world. Go figure.

[MaverickPrime]

Exhaust Gas Temperature? ironically...

What is EGT and DDR!!? Anymore hints?

Irrespective of how well liked, or otherwise, our managers may, or may not, be, it is alarming to see such a high turnover of expat senior managers in the last year or so.

Flyboy; DDR = Deutsche Democratic Republic = East Germany (EG) pre Nov 1989 when the wall came down.

T, I am sure you can work out for your self.

[fatbus]

Must be a new hire not to know EGT

[victorpapa]

Hope his new joiners interview goes ‘well’ 😉🤣

[Wizofoz]

Must say, I always though the animus toward EGT was out of proportion- sure he has a pretty abrupt demeanor, but in my dealings with him he was always fair and did what he could to help.

Still, he was a very dedicated company man, so if he's leaving it does not arguer well for EK?

[The.Humble.Guy]

Been here for just under 10 years and have no clue who “EGT” is.

My guess... German, Management, B777

[Wizofoz]

East.German.T@@T.

Not agreeing with the sentiment, just letting people know.....

[Talparc]

OMG ��
What a great threat, so any news where he is heading?

[PositiveRate876]

Thread or threat?


Must be the new briefing format propaganda.


Threat: EGT Mitigation: He's leaving!

Can’t say Wiz that your experience with him would be described as typical. I had occasion to have a man to man discussion with him over the way he was interacting with the crew when he was augmenting on a ULR, his backdown was precipitous as he is the classic personification of a workplace bully, company man or otherwise, good riddance in my view.

[SOPS]

I dont believe he is leaving. Im not convinced anyone else would have him. Always struck me as as a sad and angry man who could not really fly himself, so took great joy in hiding in is office cubicle on the ground and berating those that actually did the job when they made the smallest of mistakes. I had was grounded for a few months and had to do office duties. Interacting with him and watching him interact with others always made me wonder how he got the job in the first place.

I think you answered your own question. He is the model employee for ek, the personification of fear and intimidation. A henchman to carry out punishment as a result of subjective and prejudiced justice. All tactics he aquired growing up admiring the invader’s khakis all the while polishing his standard issue Antonov 2.

Hahahaha... good one , yes I can certainly guess who T is

[cerbus]

What other “Chief” has failed two PPCs, had a noise violation and would stay in the cockpit on his break during ULRs?
He always bragged the he flew in the DDR but that is nothing to put on your CV. What did he make 200 DM a month? What a gift he is towards aviation and his management style would make Erich Honecker proud. Bully all around.

[Talparc]

S T A S I at its best

[JAARule]

He's gruff and with little clue about social norms but I've always found him "fair" in a long, roundabout way.
His bark is worse than his bite.
You should be more worried about what will inevitably replace him.

[Desdihold]

Departure date is late June for EGT.

He has been burning off vacation and pressing 2 quiet a bit over the last few months .

[RUB 1 OUT]

No big loss,

A bully, but when confronted a mouse. No people skills good luck in Kenya..

He was the only GUY I came very close to failing on an ALT. Treated the cabin crew appallingly during briefing, then proceeded to produce his own BLT to do the takeoff data, hello ! Advising he had approval to do so. Non standard SOPS he thought it was a better way , stuffed up the approach and landed 2000’ I and rolled thru to the end at DXB, nil reverse. (Day Vmc) .l wrote him up and he refused to sign the document, the next week became dcpb, what more can I say.Bob

Sums up Emirates...

[repulo]

You wrote him up? Congrats to that, your layover would be very lonely in my crew!

'My' crew?

[repulo]

Yes bananas, my crew. Being a captain does involve more then occupying the LH seat, and with regard to your joining date you still remember that from the old days.
I always had and still have a problem with writing somebody up. Always preferred the face to face showdown, and yes, I can take negative feedba also.

So your trainers and examiners lie on their reports?

[repulo]

I tend to speak for myself. But yes, you do have a valid point during a check/training session.

[SOPS]

I think Bob did talk to him...and then fill out the Line Check form, as required, which EGT, failed to sign. I dont see the problem.

[repulo]

Point taken. I admittedly overread the fact that it was a check session.

All good- I agree line ops should stay within the crew.

I think I know what you mean but I am not sure that it is what you said.

'My' = possessive pronoun.

I too prefer face to face on the line but as this was a check event, the checker would have been failing in his duties had he not written him up.

Agree! And considering the “my” I assume we are pretty close.

I must admit that I possess a very alergic nerve to the write up theme. Had the pleasure to fly for an outfit rather north on the American continent. The atmosphere was poisoned by people writing each other up. Flight deck versus fight deck, cabin versus flight deck on regular flights. Never experienced that sort of mistrust before in a company.

But as said before an evaluation event is a different story and requires open feedbck, if necessary further action.

[natops]

Rumour goes,

LCC Berlin based or Aerologic, Leipzig...

Nothing confirmed...

[White Knight]

Lucky guys and girls at LoCo Berlin or aerologic😳

[Desdihold]

Is egt still around ?
