EK has 327 aircraft? Exceptionally well researched - like the rest of the article. The second laptop has been installed for how long?
Just shows that finger troble by inserting numbers is a common error and can happen to anyone. Now let's wait for the journalist to be sacked.
Concerning the second laptop, I wouldn't go there Machi. Most 777-300ERs/200LRs were nicely equipped with two ECBs, so individual computing and handy crosschecking (trsf button) were a dream and as safe as it can get.
WHO TOOK THEM OUT ON THE LATEST MODELS? Yes, you guessed right: EK. Because some chart provider was some dirhams cheaper, it got the job over the other that was collaborating with Boeing. Now the new system is not fully compatible with the onboard one and, magic, due to greed we are back with the two loose, cheap and unsafer laptops.
"Always best practice and safety for passengers and crew is our utmost concern...." My a$$
Now go back to the cosy office chair and close to ED, dear Machi ......
