Take another perspective.

I don't condone EK management’s disciplinary actions however take a step back and look at it form a different angle.

After reading the more sensible replies it would seem that SOPs aren't correctly enforced allowing for a variety of TOW/LPC inputs to be tolerated with the eventual undetected GIGO result. There are many holes in Swiss cheese, they aren't going away, we just have to make sure they aren't all aligned.

An unfortunate product of the need for more efficiency in aviation is computer driven task management. Pilots need to be more effective managers in this area and also more importantly the computer software should be more robust to self check logical data entry and output.


Pilots are the last line in defence, don't lower your guard.
