The point you're missing is that you will never conduct a raw data approach at EK and therefore this skill you're trying to assert is about as relevant as a Starbucks barista. The events being seen on the line are from lack of operational experience, lack of intelligence, and lack of training; all leading to some poor decisions and inappropriate reactions from an overworked, disengaged workforce.
Flying is about managing abnormals from point of initiation to a successful debrief. If you divert an A380 over the Himalayas into ZWWW, the stakeholders don't want to hear about little Timmy's manual handling skills for Christ's sake.
The quality of candidates coming into the industry, not just EK, has dramatically lowered over the last decade. The root cause being the ever increasing pressure on yields from a sustained competition far removed from economic reality whilst matching industry growth.
No-one gives a damn about your TP. Just not for the reasons you think, which ironically highlights the problem.
