It happened before

In 1998 a wife of an EK pilot wanted a divorce and at the same time she wanted to stay in DXB with her lover boy also an EK pilot.
The husband was critical about the GMFO who was fired some time later. Anyway the love birds came up with a story that the husband wanted to end his life. This scenario was exactly what the GMFO wanted but the outcome was a bit different.
The UAE DGCA was challenged by International Organisations to explain their actions against the pilot who happened to be right on the ball regarding his critics of the GMFO.
Result was that the UAE DGCA ended up being very embarrassed about the whole thing. A single Western hysterical woman managed to put the whole UAE DGCA and EK management on it’s head.
Never ever will something like this happen again? The husband is now driving his Ferrari around the curved roads in Tuscany.
