Ok, so what exactly is the Manchester story with the FO? All I've heard was it was a FO on IOE with a checkairman CA, and they executed a wrong missed approach. While that is a big mistake, it is not worthy of firing someone over. Here in the states, filing an ASAP report would cover your as$, so as long as it was a 100% honest mistake. You'd get called in, have a meeting, and maybe get a letter in your file (which is tossed in 12-24 months anyway), but you would have still have your job.
So what gives? What happened to these two EK pilots and what exactly happened at Manchester?
