Who'd fall for the old 'coach' trick in DXB? Paddy English EK002, Paddy Irish EK162 or Paddy ? EK748?
Looking on the bright side I'm pleased to announce EK162 has now become a Dubai once bitten twice shy Captain and won't fall for that one again.
Seriously I put it down to inefficient ATC handling of traffic (concur with Wannabee) and complete bungling from an Emirates customer service point of view once we landed in RKT.
