Meaning of the word "gouge"

According to my "Webster`s New World Dictionary" the word "gouge" can have several meanings relevant to EK. 1. A chisel used to carve and hollow out wood(eroding T&C`s due to several known factors)2.Extortion or swindle(well known behaviour in upper echelon of EK management). Or Mr. Aviationluver from Arizona simply just did a "typo" and meant somthing else.

A "gouge" is a term used for a summary or briefing of a test or interview process including typical questions asked, format etc etc.

Give the guy a break!

recently the whole process changed again, like everything in EK.

First day: get stuck in DXB traffic on the way to EK HQ to get the brainwash induction. (no, houses enough! Rosters? The bidding system works perfect! etc)
Built something with plastic tubes with the lot, solve some ridiculous casu (problems) and say "yes ofcourse" at the feedback.

second day: logbook check and more of day 1. In the evening you get a call if you can do the sim on day three, or send home.

third day: sim on 310 or 777 visual, ils goaround etc. Don`t get unstabelised!

The schedule above is variable, certainly when an American president arrives or when it rains. If both occur at the same time, remain at home.
