The post further up from "jinglied" is for me the most worrying as a pilot.

If pilots are indeed being disciplined for writing ASRs at Emirates it won't take long for their safety culture (if it even exists) to collapse. I can tell you that at the Canadian airline I work for management has committed in writing that there is no jeopardy for disclosing an unsafe procedure and operation via an ASR or any other communication. I haven't seen any evidence that they are lying nor do I think this policy is unique for a major Canadian operator.

This doesn't mean mistakes aren't made, but the information regarding a safety issue certainly isn't suppressed nor are pilots punished for raising safety concerns.

If punishing pilots for raising safety concerns is how Emirates operates it's a major problem for me as another pilot or as a potential Emirates passenger.
