Is fatigue a problem at Emirates?

With this latest crash-landing, following previous flydubai crash, is there a serious fatigue problem in UAE?

From what I hear from the rumour mill it is a BIG problem and that Emirates schedules are punishing compared with other long-haul airlines but that could just be disgruntled employees grumbling. However, it has been mentioned with the rate of deliveries, the airline simply cannot keep up with demand for aircrew and is also losing a lot of aircrew due to the conditions.

Very interested to hear of FC experience in this area....
