Why are so many EK FO's failing the upgrade interviews?

fatbus: you are right F5 was probably not on of them since the ratios he mentioned are pretty out of whack. e.g. very few failed the medical and of those who did, the main issues were ear and spine problems. The psycho took most casualties though.
back to topic: for someone to "fail" spoken airman's english is disturbing since the spoken airman vocabulary IMHO is far less than what's required by a school graduate (english). Reading back clearance... push and hot, cleared for whatever will come.

Wet .....-
Just curious where did you come up with vee two? I have heard of V speeds and V1 and V2. Never seen it written as "vee" speeds. Is that a regional thing?
""Well I was asked what wet vee two is''
''and what was your answer''""

So the way forward in judging someones suitability as a Captain is to can all that psych, interview and sim stuff and just observe their performance as an FO?
Seems fair to me.

Our friend Freddie made a few dodgy Dubai deals that have turned sour. I guess he's training again to retrieve what he lost, not because he's thick skinned. There again...........
