Seaman Staynes and other like minded twats.
Sign on out of Dubai is one hour twenty five minutes prior to departure.
You can stick it up your arse if you think I, or anyone else, owe you, or any other ****, an explanation as to what I, or anyone else, have been doing one hour twenty six minutes prior to departure.
As far as you super heroes who think spot checks are fine, see my suggestion to Seaman Staynes above.
It's about time you lot got your hands off it and realise who the real enemy is.

Just take both sectors SS.
I believe recruiting has now dropped to even lower requirements than those allowed emiratesf hucker in. Frozen ATPL is the newest rumour. So it would appear that the problem isn't going to be addressed.

Cadets have a frozen ATPL . I know, I know ! ..as for the 1hr 26 min man .. not much more to be said other than a very bitter mini activist pointing at the wrong target ... sad .

I was talking more about the few guys / gals who saunter into the briefing room with a couple of minutes to go until its time to go to the bus, complaining about being picked up late yet still have a coffee in hand, obviously don't have any time for anything at home - dirty shoes, half ironed shirt etc etc! These guys and gals mostly continue with this laissez faire attitude during the flight most likely chair back, speaker on also trying to text their mates whilst you're not looking!!
I've seen video games on the iPhone while PF on climbout in Chinese metric RVSM. Texting and doing Instagram selfies while taxiing a widebody. Popping a GoPro out unannounced to record HD video of the cockpit when the throttles come up on a max gross takeoff roll.
And, if you say anything, you are the bad guy for being insensitive to your coworker's needs.

And I always thought it was the 7 P's. Prior Planning and Preparation Prevents P*ss Poor Performance.
Prep for me on a training flight involves 5 mins of getting to know the guy/girl first over a coffee. If they ask for a soy crappofrappolappocino then both sectors are mine. Simples!

As Trader said, it's about the tone of the missive, not just the content. If a checker looks for problems they can always find them. Of course I think for the vast majority random checks will be a non-issue. But the overly-dismissive attitudes of some will inevitably lead to them being knocked off their high horse. Always does.
Oh noes, BOTH sectors??! But whatever you do don't throw me in the briar patch
Er, I thought these threads were 'moderated' and profane language was not allowed? Having been referred to as a 't@sser' for no apparent reason by a complete stranger I thought that I would give the ek posts a wide berth. The majority of people I met in ek were courteous and professional and of course were unlikely to be quite so brave face to face. I will say this: whatever the (justifiable) complaints ref Emirates at least they have not reverted to a complete ban as per the 'other' UAE airline. If the post by e/f is representative ( I don't think it is btw) I can only surmise mental illness, drink etc. Not a good advert for the airline.

Ruserious - not got enough time to make yourself a cup at home if its that important!

You know what I mean!
I think these are the ones who are being targeted!

Not saying it's right, dont shoot the messenger - but pick your battles.
short flights long nights
At a guess, RHS. Very new, loves shiny jets, Instagram, and possibly may ( or may not) have spikey hair.
And I suggest, he may be in for a big shock on his first visit to the third floor.
However, I could be very wrong.

Let me buy you a amber one. Quote of the year soy crappofrappolacino.
Hit the nail on the head
Hahaha. Love it
So true if you ever needed an example of the current generation

Duty doesn't start till -85
Showing up 15' after that light turns green is a very bad way to start a duty and, if it wasn't an even worst breach of CRM, I'd take both sectors.

I hope some of you don't talk to each other on the flight deck like that... 
Anyway.... it isn't unusual for anyone to miss or misinterpret a couple of radio calls into some **** hole airport with substandard ATC. I wonder how far they will take this?

There's a big difference between missing info because you're not listening out and monitoring effectively to asking ATC to repeat something because you didn't hear clearly or understand the instruction. If you're not sure of the clearance, ask and keep asking until you do.
If anyone marks you down because of the latter, they shouldn't be on the flight deck, let alone in training.

It's quite notable and strange how a lot of Emirates threads degenerate into a slanging match between captains and FOs. I'm not quite sure why it happens but I think it's symptomatic of an environment where some guys in the LHS start to believe in their own inherent superiority and are disappointed when their FO colleague doesn't appear to live up to the ideal standards which they believe they possess themselves.
There appears to be a certain smug arrogance displayed by some captains towards the junior colleague who just might one day save their ass should they have been wise enough not to alienate them from report time onwards. Whatever you think of that colleague, it's the one resource that's going to accompany you onto the flight deck and you might as well get the best out of them rather than dismiss them for failing to be exactly like you (or how you think you are, more to the point).
Then again, I don't think the company or national culture exactly values the characteristic of humility in those in leadership positions. Bit dangerous in aviation if you ask me and a situation which the whole system of CRM was designed to address. Nowadays, I'm lucky enough to work for an airline with an extremely flat hierarchy both in and out of the flight deck and where I have every confidence that all my colleagues on the flight will do as much to protect my ass as I will theirs. I still don't take it for granted even 4 years after leaving Emirates.
