Hmm well, as I was mentioned previously, might as well offer advice, though I expect it will not be properly received.
This same sort of nonsense was tried at SaudiArabian some time ago, by ex-EAL pilots, and they were told, enmass, by the company that if they did not back off and keep their traps firmly shut, the entire group would be dismissed forthwith, and be on the next plane out...and not necessarily to their home country, either.
To those at EK today, do you really believe that this would or could not happen today, just because you are in DXB?
Really?
I submit that the same scenario would be forthcoming, or a slight variation mentioned before...command assessment or upgrade training offered, then failed, and promptly out the door, whether the perfomance during said training was up to snuff, or not.
In short, it so very easy to boot malcontents out the door, as apparently some, even today, have not fully realised that in DXB, and indeed elsewhere in the mid-east, legal proceedings are clearly biased toward the companies concerned.
Especially so where a government owned company is concerned.
