Mens. and RF, thanks for sharing.
This whole thing makes me think of GF management and the way they handled the aftermath of their A320 crash. It took them a few years to change from fear-approach to real people-management approach. Things are much better now I hear at GF but unfortunately they have a more concerning problem in another area : they miss EK's commercial brains.
As in GF, Ek's way of handling this mini-crisis it is a culture thing and a few high shots (mostly arabs) are again to blame. Give them a couple of years and they will learn from their mistakes....
Fly safe and keep those head down. There is not a lot we can do...
