I really don't see an issue here - EK own the aircraft (or are financially responsible for it), and if they don't want you to land with a certain problem then that's their choice. As a Captain, if their choice was unsafe then you exert your authority - If their choice is safe, then go with it. It has nothing to do with whether you think the company is right or not - it's their train set. Your role is to ensure the aircraft, crew and passengers are safe - everything else is just window dressing.
