SOPS
I have to agree with Kennytheking. You worked here for many years, did you succumb to the 'EK management culture'? I think not. You, along with the majority of Captains operated the aircraft within SOPS but not afraid to use airmanship, apply good judgement and be resilient when needed. JAARule too, I'm sure.
It is a cultural issue as Kenny's stated, which is, I agree with you on this, the reason why we see some pitiful ASR's. There were some classics this week too. Those that submit these reports are probably the same individuals incapable of being flexible and using sound airmanship when required. The minute I feel that 'fear' is affecting my decisions as a Captain, I will leave this place in a heartbeat, Guaranteed!
Having said that, EK still has some way to go before it can claim to be a true 'JUST' culture. And apologies for misspelling earlier.......descent...decent...must be the vino!
