Couldn't agree more. There are some people out there quick to blame others for their own mistakes. To be honest, I don't know WHAT the policy is regarding calling in people to ask questions but when there is a major balls up, the sooner the Company gets the answers the better it is for all concerned. When the phone calls start coming in, Emirates needs to give answers and they can only do that when they know what's happened.
With regards to the safety culture in this Company, well, there are a lot worse out there. In the time i've spent here, i've had no feeling of fear regarding any reports and some of the rumours above are just that. "Filing ASR gives you a warning on your file". Are you for real? Complete utter tosh. As are the idiots out there filing ASR's for nothing other than " just to cover my back".
Greater than 250kt below 5000 in the CLIMB at ATC request?
Forgetting to put the landing lights on below 10,000ft?
Where are the safety implications? Stick it on the voyage report.
Perhaps more effort should be placed on these issues during Command interviews than on recalling the max ZFW/MTOW/MLW of every aircraft!
