Wet V2:
Manchester was a training flight with the wrong runway set in the FMC prior to the approach (two parallel Rwys 06 with the left one set up in the box with the right one in use). Not picked up in the approach brief.
Error not picked up until late requiring a go-around. GA flown according to FMC which was the wrong one, therefore turned left instead of right. One of those days.
F/O under training was sacked despite constant denials, basic outright lies from management. The lying continued even with the container packed up outside the F/Os door. F/O concerned had his family here with 3 or 4 kids with one on the way.
Nobody screws up on purpose like it was simple Human Error. Never the less we all could have learnt a cautionary tail and moved on. But, you have no recourse, no back up, no support. Once you are here and left any job you are at their mercy or lack thereof.
The 'human' element has been taken out of the management so we have to deal with this and other low levels of support on a daily basis.
There are other examples but I'll leave others to tell those but that V2 was the Manchester incident in a nutshell.
We all came here with the hope that it would be better for us and our families. As time has passed EK had declined below the expectations we set as a bench mark from our own experiences. Those who come now because 'it's better than what I've got now' will over time realize EKs capacity to erode terms and conditions, breech contracts so that eventually it will resemble the Ts & Cs from which you tried to get away from.
