It's interesting to assess what ramifications this accident may have for EK.
If company history is anything to go by don't expect any reasoned analyses. What we can expect is more restrictive and punitive rules for approaches imposed by those who have little relevant experience in the area. The aim will be to frighten crews into taking the most conservative approach rather than the most practical with a threat of disciplinary action if anything goes wrong.The wider systemic issues will be ignored as irrelevant and the focus placed on the crews actions not what got them into that position. The upstairs philosophy at EK is "The Emirates way is the best and it is only the lazy rouge pilots who don't follow our orders that will have problems"

The training department will be proactive and I imagine that ATQP will address the relevant issues when they become fact but only in future phases. Phase six is already cemented. Perhaps when more details emerge SFO will be incorporated in the manual handling Sim.
