Er, I thought these threads were 'moderated' and profane language was not allowed? Having been referred to as a 't@sser' for no apparent reason by a complete stranger I thought that I would give the ek posts a wide berth. The majority of people I met in ek were courteous and professional and of course were unlikely to be quite so brave face to face. I will say this: whatever the (justifiable) complaints ref Emirates at least they have not reverted to a complete ban as per the 'other' UAE airline. If the post by e/f is representative ( I don't think it is btw) I can only surmise mental illness, drink etc. Not a good advert for the airline.
