Ok girls, I stand somewhat corrected about the visual approaches. Shall we agree and say that EK doesn't "encourage" visual approaches. My post was basically about new FCIs that come out when there is an incident or whatever. And along those lines, do a little hand flying at altitude and watch you hand get "slapped". But again, this thread isn't about some silly FOM/FCI instructions, but rather what managements' response is to any incident. More restrictions. Maybe not in this case.
I too know this captain, and IMHO, I will say he is one of the good guys, in every respect. Would really be a shame if anything at all came of this.
