What about Jewish passengers? Several months back an Emirates flight from Osaka to Dubai, (operated 3 crew) was assigned with a local F/O. A premium class passenger was a Jewish female. The local F/O got wind of this and refused to do the flight. Eventully special dispensation was received from the DGCA to operate the flight back with 2 pilots only. The local F/O returned to crew accommodation and paxed back the following day. Do you think any disciplinary action was tken? No, just a great job in hushing it all up. So how many Jewish pax do EK have on their thrice daily JFK Flights. I guess it would not look good to potential customers if word got out.
