Great stuff!

Much needed comic relief for the CX guys.

Good effort. Obviously not tired out from sightboard runs!

Great video indeed, however the 3rd floor might deem it as actions "unbecoming of a captain" for it!

These guys seem to be hard working, positive and with a good sense of humour.

More than what can be said about 99.9% of the ungrateful bellyaching whiney b@stards that seem to post on this forum

It makes me smile when folks complain that many people fail the command course at CX yet 99% of EK guys sail through first time.

I know I'd prefer to be sitting beside the CX guy when the sh!t is really hitting the fan - the guy who had everything including the kitchen sink thrown at him in the sim, but didn't fold, and came through the other side stronger for the experience.

Somehow I am happy that our command course is bit of a pig. .

I think the cadets did a great job, even better posting it. BUT it's a Captains airline mentality.

I am sure the EK guys will appreciate you comments.

I know some CX Captains I would have doubts flying with (yes Gweilos). OK if the wx was OK, but when the pressure was on, not a chance.

Pull your head out of you’re a$$ mate. CX pilots are not that great. The great ones learned it long before coming to CX. They weren't made in Hong Kong.

However there are some good Local Captains that have earned their stripes. Good one guys you deserve it.
