Agreed. As much I would love to experience flying 777 or A380, Emirates has always been off my list since they don’t allow raw data flying. Not only it’s important to maintain basic flying skills, nothing makes me more happy flying wise than doing raw data take offs and approaches some times to times on my Baby Bus. =)
