EK, the GCAA, the Ruler's Court, Dubai Governmant etc etc will do EVERYTHING to protect the details of the UAE National Captain. I am not apportioning any blame but the fact that even the Aussie FO's shoe size is now online, indicate the level of cooperation that may be expected from from the UAE authorities.

Interestingly enough, today in the government-owned The National, there is a story stating that the investigation MAY take up to a year whereas a few days ago, all was going to be done and dusted in a month.

A few weeks ago, The National also stated that the US was not going to pursue the whole allegations of subsidies with the Big 3. The next day, the US stated not true!

Add this to the removal of the seniority list, allegations of flammable clothing, (allegedly) fatiguing rosters, the wholesale reduction in experience for new joiners not to mention the FD disaster, a very clear picture of life at EK emerges.

I don't believe that there are many national civil aviation authorities dealing with two hull losses in such a short period.

There are no unions nor is there a Labour Law for EK staff. Additionally, the GCAA!!!! has warned people not to post pictures or video on social media of this latest disaster. They could be prosecuted and go to prison!! Not the Federal Government or Dubai Police. The aviation regulator. Think about that.

Stay safe out there.
