This is only half the story.
Emirates has over the years sacked many pilots on the flimsiest grounds. None of them had a chance at a fair hearing, even though the charges were sometimes laughable.
On top of that the system of "justice" is a joke. Something out of the middle ages, not a modern progressive country. If you are the victim of a crime perpetrated by a "local", you stand no chance at all. He will win every time. Read between the lines of the local press, it is heavily censored.
