What amazes me the most , and this is valid for EK FZ and all the like flying to some of the war zone where other companies will not go for obvious safety concerns , is the fact that a few of their pilots are here to say what they think about the management "team" of those airlines but when it comes to act what are these guys doing.
The "bravest" do call sick to avoid to fly there but then another pilot on stand by will have to fly instead of him/her to that place.
Tell me why with the hundred or even the thousand of pilots in those companies instead of reacting here don't go and tell their company they they will not operate those flight ?
They can not lay out a big number of pilots , they can not afford it.
So take your responsibility and don' t operate those flights , if not it means that you agree with them that the risk is remote and then don't jump on this website when it finally happen....
