Is this a rational and unemotional action taken by the commander in a politically sensitive situation? No.
Would his behaviour and decision making capabilities fill me with confidence as a passenger? No.
Would the companies actions intimidate me as a Captain? No.
Case closed.

It's time to shake off all this Iranian prejudice and let Iran back into the world so to speak. There is money to be made and EK were right in sending a 380 in. If a countries flag was raised so what? who cares? It's free publicity for both sides.
Would the next Captain to bring a 380 into BHX raise the city flag on taxiing. On second thoughts don't bother the rate things are going here it might be one of those funny black things

No one got fired or even interviewed about this. EK and UAE doesn’t give a dam for stupid flags from their enemy up north who had stolen 3 Islands from them a few years ago.
Google it if you dont believe it.
So if they belonged to UAE, they would have had an Arabic name....no?
Saw a pic not long ago of a red, white and blue American Airlines B777 flying the red commie Chinese flag on arrival after an inagural flight to Shanghai from LAX or DFW. Nice handheld little pole, much classier than holding the flag like the Iranian one.
Big deal.

Iran is heaven compared to UAE, apart from your UGLY fake cities built on oil wealth you are nothing, Iran had flora and fauna and natural beaty, picturesque villages etc, that would put your oil wealth to shame. A crappy glass skyline, imported things, decadent lucury and a few scavanger airlines stealing traffic and run by foreigners arent everything, what 60% of your countries population is expat, do you people even work?
Wow newscaster that is quite an outpouring of bitterness and vitriol!!
One reason why other arab nations do not consider Iran as arabic is because they (you) do not share the same climate or language.
I cannot comment on Iran as a country as I have never been there, but I have worked in UAE and it was not a particularly difficult experience and I dealt with many UAE nationals who worked. The skyline is impressive even if it isn't natural beauty, but then neither is New York City, or Shanghai or many other cities.

I am not from either country and not even from the M.E., however, these Islands ; from the antiquity up to today, have Persian names.
