The list will be populated when the trainers, who happen to be the more seniors decide if they want to leave training, and on the other hand if training wants to let them go. Only then can a proper list come out.

The datum business is crap... should be seniority only..

i'm not sure what to do with that expression of interest list.

didn't count them but there's a plethora of examiners, instructors and chiefs of stuff on that list. are they all going to resign? don't think so.

basically, i know as much as before the list came out about where i stand...

He's like the ever present UK financial advisors in Dubai who originated frome the UK. IDIOTS!!!!


I feel for you bro WK, you have evolved your opionions from your experiences in Brit Land and you don't have the intelligence or educations to see othewise.

I do not hate you, I feel sympathy for you.

I'm not exactly sure what issues you have with your life but colour, race and nationality are obviously a few.

Whatever grievance you hold, be it against an individual, organisation or, god forbid, an entire nation, I just hope you have the professionalism to keep your narrow minded and racial prejuduces off the flight deck. Reading your posts would suggest that may be difficult for you.

Well Harry,

I could see how you reached that view about me. My post was a tad vehement but in truth I hold no pre-concieved notions about anyone. I don't care if you are Lebo, Canadian, German, Brit or any other nationality which tends toward undesirable qualities. The individual is what is important.

In the cockpit, if you have some pre-conceived notions about a nationality or a skin color, then for sure, you have to put that aside and act professionally. I don't have pre-conceived notions to start with but when some individuals such as Whight Knight, demonstrate their imperialistic attitudes towards others, then that should be pointed out.

I apologize for bringing up the Brit history of subjegating little brown people. It's just that this mind-set is still prevalent amongst 'some' Brit pilots here.It boggles my mind that many pilots here criticize OZ and USA pilots(sometime valid admittedly) yet in my case at least.... The worst guys with the worst attitudes are often the Brits.

Oh by the way, most of my good friends are um, errr, iiiiits iiits, um errh Brits! I find them interesting, nice people... yet they almost always have an attidude regarding other nationalities That is my point.

Would you mind quoting me then SI? I'm not sure where you get that from.

Are you Mensaboy under a new guise? You sure prattle on like him!

Finally, you may discover in the real world that everyone has a view about different nationalities, wherever they themselves are from! You are a naive and supercilious kind of chappie

It/s impossible to quote someone who is subtle about their views about their superiority of others. Unless of course they come right out and state it, which obviously you have been taught NOT to do.

I am supercilious and a chappy now? I do admit that I don't know what that means but I have a feeling it is not complimentary. lol. Regarding your opinion that I am Naive, that really makes my laugh. Naive I am not, wise I have become over a great of time.

Some people 'grow' in wisdom over the years. Some people hold onto the viewpoints that were expressed to them as children. You fit into the latter category by the way.

You actually alluded to tolerating and then understanding 'other' nationalities yet you are the at the front of the class when it comes to having an imperialistic viewpoint of the world.

YOU honestly believe that you are better than other pilots, not based upon you abilities as a pilot or a leader, but based upon the fact that you consider other nationalities or skin colors, LESS... than you. That is pathetic IMHO.

Ummm errrr surely this can be construed as a racist remark within itself?

Sittingidly I hope to God you aren't flight deck, your comments are pathetic at best and indicative of someone with a big chip on their little shoulders!

''I don't care if you are Lebo, Canadian, German, Brit or any nationality which tends toward undesirable qualities.''

OK, that sentence could be taken two different ways and I should have writtenn it better. There was no intention to slag any nationality which might not have been clear, but rather the opposite. I simply don't care what nationalilty or skin color anyone is.... just what type of person they are. Actually, even more important than that...... in our little world of flying aircraft.... is how someone conducts themself on the flight deck.

I don't like nasty people but there is always the choice of who you hang out with. On the flight deck, it is a bit different though. You don't have a choice. Thankfully EK tends to hire decent pilots but there are a few whackos at this company.

Perhaps Whight Knight is a normal person, who does not consider himself bvetter than people due to his country's past conquests. But he obviously exudes the aura that his better than others, in spite of his attempts to hide his true beliefs...... which from my experience is a clear indication that he is the exact opposite.

When you sit around the dinner table listening to your parents comments about certain things, you will be inclined to hold those viewpoints for much of your life. UNLESS of course if you are open minded and willing to learn from others. White Knight exhibits ALL the qualities of an imperialist who considers himself better than the rest of us.

That is just my opinion and I would not have made those comments unless he had previously attacked me with lies and innuendo. If WK and I disagree on things, then so be it, but for him to lie, cheat and deceive others in an attempt to discredit me, well then he deserves to be exposed.

That's a fairly libelous comment SI... You have NOT yet been able to quote me on these apparent 'lies, cheats and deceptions' Why? Because I do non of the above - I just don't like you or agree with you; but in your head you twist things... I suggest you reread some of your posts Maybe make that appointment with whatever EK department deals with problems
