Can any EK Pilot pass the FAA IMSAFE checklist?

Gents,

I'm not a Captain at EK, but maybe someone who is can ask the above question at their meeting.

Illness
Medication
Stress
Alcohol
Fatigue
Emotion

If a safe operation is the top priority, then why is the flight operations culture causing an increase in the above? As evidenced by the increase in serious operational errors, failed sobriety tests, attempts to limit sick calls, rumours of 11 recent sackings, minimum days off leading to chronic long term fatigue, etc. etc.

Any answers would be appreciated.
