Did you know that "Whispering Giant" was the nickname for the Bristol Britannia !!!
Yes the three of us are OK here in DXB. Fortunately the operation does not have a lot of the "in your face" problems you would normally have ie very few wx probs locally around the Middle East, no slot or ATC delays to deal with, strikes, except DAC, few tech probs, average age of the fleet being only 3 years old.
So I am looking at the Emirates network this morning and not one single delay is posted from any of the 60 destinations around the world we are operating to today with 43 aircraft.
There are other problems we encounter though of a different nature !!!
