I almost feel sorry for emirates as they have a real problem ahead of them. They can’t simply allow their pilots to practice as they will expose themselves to huge risk while their 3000 odd pilots try to get back the skills they’ve lost. You can just imagine the errors going forward. Enough to make their safety and human factors departments pull their hair out trying to explain to an obtuse and obdurate management why their stats are through the roof. Almost!
given that for the most part, approaches in dubai are in good weather and are radar vectored ILS approaches; you’d think it was a pretty much ideal environment to regain those manual handling skills
