Allthough I sympathize with your comment, the last time we asked NCC for assistance, we got nothing usable and the trickle came too late anyway.
At the debriefing it was stipulated that they were understaffed to provide flight watch. They could only step in once we are in trouble.

To say someone screwed up "the others" when running into an unexpected fuel shortage is not very useful aswell.

It is management who pressure us to save fuel at our very own risk (no symathy for the ones running into trouble, just warning letters), shoving any assistance onto you guys who are desperately understaffed and undertrained, but they themselves do squat to improve the real problem, meaning -> ATC coordination and airport management, which are both in their responsibility. But that would mean balls, work and (god forbid!!) money ....

Don't shoot at each other guys, shoot at the real culprits, meaning EK management, Dnata and the DGCAA/GCAA.
