"The safety of our passengers and crew is of utmost importance and will not be compromised"
Whenever you get an EK press report with regards to safety, they always write Passengers first then crew. Most airlines I've seen state that the safety of crew first in the phrase then passengers.
Obviously its not written in stone but to my mind this always seems to show just how much importance they show for their crew.
No doubt the crew have been told "not to talk to media if you do you're out of a job" For some who haven't been involved in a job which involves the active threat of death etc then this may well be one of the most stressful working conditions they may experience and once again EK will try and shut them up with scare tactics so that it doesn't possibly damage how incompetent they may have possibly been during an event as such or their precious brand image
