Climb 2,
Thanks for that.
allura,
btw I suspect the company has employed a few spin doctors in an attempt to counter the negativity they have caused, as some of the posts recently don't seem quite Kosher.
If you make a quote like that, you really ought to be sure about your own facts.
Yes, there have been such incidents, as there have been at every airline I have worked for.
You story specified that a Captain was dragged in by the local plod because he obeyed a company direction. I find that hard to believe and the fact that you haven't said you have first hand knowledge of the people involved indicates to me that you are probably spreading a basless rumour.
Like I said, plenty of bad stuff happens in the UAE, and I take 410s word if he knows the guy concerned in your second story, but I don't think the first one is true, and you don't seem to be able to back it up.
