Doubt

I don't think they would come to QR; most of them can read.

Why would anyone with 20-30 years of experience want to enjoy 22 days out of 31 getting paid to ride around in a first class suite? Nobody I know.

So why would they want to fly the thing in either seat the same number of days each month?

That's goes for ex BA as well as current EK.

INDIA?

Hi! all,
I'm sure gotoindia is a carrela, that is why he presumed he could be on the left seat of a wide body A/C iso a fat ### you dont see him with, cus he is not a bollywood star and all the tight ### girls are taken
As to DEC's if you guys had any decent experience apart from flying pencil jets around your home town, may be EK would think about upgrading you.
Also If you thought flying around Chandigargh would make you a prime candidate for an inexperienced left seater, deream on
This is the real world, where companies need men not boys.

Given that there are only 15 777 Captains leaving BA they won't be filling the 3x8 courses. Especially as most of them are quitting flying for good.

Found this in EKBemuseds public profile on this board:

Current a/c Type (eg B737. Pilots only):B777
Biography:Born in Chittagong, Raised in Karachi,joined PK in 1980 and joined EK as a DEC in 2005.
Which possibly explains his unpleasant comments about his nearby countrymen, although not his comments about his colleagues on the other side of the EK Flight deck.

Ex-British Airways pilots want (and need) flying handed to them on a silver platter, especially if based, mid-east.
I wouldn't worry too much about them actually remaining for very long.

Proven...time and time again, elsewhere.

Just the facts.

Hope they will apply to Oman Air, they are looking for above average skill DEC, to fly with their well trained F/O, if they can passed the assesment that being conducted by more above average skill Captain they were proud and just failed 7 ex SAS pilot in Europe
