As the mist dissipates, we now know more or less what has happened.
By bullying the guys to resign, Emirates just wants to cover up their contributing factors to the screw-up. As for example what LOSA has told them (distractions) and the completely inadequate augmenting space problem raised by many pilots. This is a indirect admittance to complicity, because if they would not feel so, they would openly talk about the incident (internally), to find out ALL the flaws that led to such a mistake and to remedy it. But there's no interest to that, just the blaming game ...
The trail of factors leading to such an incident is almost too visible. Not only the above mentioned problems, but just as much the inadequate training and rostering for MFF. Not surprisingly this has been a issue with ie. Lufthansa, but at least they implemented some costly changes in operations regarding MFF. The other thing never raised, is that the somewhat similar incidents JNB and MEL had both homegrown captains at controls. Not that I would defend the DEC policy nor pretend they are better captains. But this might show some flaws in the training of EK's FOs right down to upgrading within EK. Many have pointed out the all too narrow path of our SOPs and their adherence, leaving out some common sense and lateral thinking, or experience gained elsewhere to settle in.
Another thing that is popping up, is that a lot of pilots seem very distracted lately. Not surprising, especially for the new ones, as housing issues leave some utterly frustrated fellows. Some run into marital problems as their Janes take it out on them. Additionally some discover up to half a month just taken away from them, apparently equippment change, and are therefore confronted with a substiantial salary loss, as they only get unused ADs. The flight pay system now shows its weakness. These absences of minds are just as much contributing factors to incidents, and the company bears the biggest brunt of this. No "take it or leave it" bulls#!t can talk this away.
I know, I know, nothing will happen and they couldn't care less. But it is worth mentioning it, the moral complicity can't even be brushed under a shiny dish-dash. Some day the customer will hear and make his choice, it has happened before.
