Shneiderthrophy.....

I hope your are joking..but i´m scared you aren´t...

First:What´s the difference between a 330 or 320 captain......??????For me: no difference.Strange if you "fail" your interview you may be eliigible for cpt 320!!!:ugh::ugh::ugh:

Second: Everybody knowns that upgrade interview is a joke, and that the issue in most of the case is well known before it...

Cheers.

I am honestly embaressed at times by how pathetically weak many of you pilots are. Your cowardly lack of vision enslaves you and truly you deserve your fate.

Dear Schneider Trophy,

From your new alias, we can clearly see you enjoy a fast ride. My wife says I am really fast too somtimes!!

But yes, I think that a short hual first command, if possible, really is good airmanship. Why? Because it provides a new captain with the maximum number of decision making cycles. Take-off/landing is not an issue. It's the critical decisions, and most happen on the ground or in the terminal area.

But now for the $50,000,000 question: How does DEC improve safety in this regard?

How can you accept a captain unfamiliar with SOP, language and local hazards ahead of an FO who already has all this vital knowlege??? For an unrated DEC the same question quadruples.

I have been told in person by management, and I have just read here on this thread, that it's because:

Unfortunately, for an insurance company, a DEC is still safer than a new upgrade, regardless of what happened before. But somebody else already took the risk by upgrading this DEC before, so therefore the responsibility issue is of the table.

Someone else gave him command, so if he crashes it's not our fault.

I must always have someone else to blame. That is the bottom line rationale here. Separation of responsiblilty is a deeply ingrained management tactic in the middle east. It is idiotic and cowardly, but it is middle-eastern reality.

If you want to work for an airline that puts airmanship ahead of service, best look elsewhere.

Well done Terry! :ok:

From all the negatives we read on this organisation, you've summed up its management style the best I think with the observation that it:

Isn't it a pity that the people at the top of the company cannot work out that there is a very big difference between management and leadership?
