All your worries may be over.

Got an email response from EK saying that they have no more DEC requirements.

End of Topic ?

IT

I don't want to spoil your joy, but this is true for this week and maybe for the next month...on the longer term there's a different story.

cheers

Snoop Promises, promises...

I know most of the FOs in EK promised accelerated commands lack nothing in flying experience. What the ones crying the blues over DEC positions and broken promises lack, is experience with the industry.
If the lips are moving, the management is lying. You take your chances when you sign a contract as an FO with a promise to command in"1, max 2 years!!".
I agree with 411A, the company makes the call. If they change their mind, too bad. They can, and you can do nothing about it.
And for White Knight: As to all DECs being useless; I guess they went through the same hiring process as the rest of you. How does that reflect on you? Stop crying, take it as a man and get on with it. If you really are good, your command will come.
In aviation, no one ever get what we deserve We get what we negotiate.
The DEC just had better cards negotiating than you!

IT, good to hear.

I have flown with a good number of DEC's, and the standard varies to hugely experienced and great guys to distinctly average. However, one or two who have been here for years, you certainly have to keep a beady eye on.

So bottom line, DEC's will vary in quality, but to label them all bad is crass.

BLE- I didn't say all DEC's are useless, I said a FEW DUDS!!! Most of the guys I've flown with (DEC's that is) are switched on and very likeable. And no, they haven't actually gone through the same hiring process!!!!
Doesn't change the fact that they're totally surplus to requirements does it?
