Any news on the whereabouts of the Australian FO involved with the DXB crash
 

I hope with the tragic death of the Emirari fire fighter , the flight crew remain out of prison and are receiving appropriate councilling. Nasty place to be when a life is lost.

Then you should know it's a nasty place to be if needing "counselling" not only at any other time. There is none. I would say "counselling" is the last thing he needs at the moment.

It's best to leave it alone on Prune. This guy is in a world of hurt and the media has got pictures off Facebook and blasting it worldwide. I do hope AIPA are in contact and attempting to assist. He's going to need it.

EK care about one thing. And that's it's image. Putting Pilots in jail will create a media frenzy right across the globe. Exposes the UAE's harsh tactics as they are working quite hard on promoting Dubai as a destination.

The only difference at play here compared to the Melbourne accident is we gave a local captain involved.

Are you in contact with Jeremy? Do you correspond with him? How would you know "This guy is in a world of hurt " Madame?

As the other said we just need to respect his privacy - something the media has not done. Let's hope for his sake there is an open investigation (someone said that ATSB may be able to be involved considering he is still a licenced Australian pilot). I am sure those final seconds are playing over and over in his head as he to tries to work out why it happened.

last I heard was the Foreign Minister(Bishop) was asking him to get in touch. So The Govt are obviously concerned for his welfare. All our best wishes go out to him and his family. And well done CC. In the face of idiots who were more concerned about their laptops, then being incinerated, or the PAX they were blocking, need to be named, shamed, and fined.

then

And

Your posts are drivel. :yuk:

Back to topic.

Best of luck Jeremy!!!!!!!

Actually Dunda, I'd be pulling your app now my friend.
Some serious issues with the place and massive resignations weekly. It has all gone pear-shaped over the last 5-6 years.
The goaters are in serious trouble as more are leaving than been recruited. A lot are getting out even with NO job to go to. Very experienced guys and gals.
Two of my friends are in their last few days and taking a turboprop job back in Oz. One a 777 Capt and the other an A380 Capt. Now that is desperate stuff.
Something is very very wrong and it stinks to high heaven.:cool:

I'd rather fly a C150 doing circuits at Bankstown than live in that hole known as Dubai. Everything is wrong about the joint, close to Middle East Hotspots, Draconian laws, hell there isn't even any green grass there, it's just flying big jets into a fiery inferno hell hole. Each to their own, but I have never and will never consider it, even if there was no choice I would career change rather than working anywhere near Dubai. Your asking for trouble getting involved in that joint. Period.

apart from a world class golf course, a racing track and a place to play cricket!

Ok there is some grass there, but please you know what I mean, I'm sure there are sandpits in Singapore Kindergartens too.

St Andrews Golf course, Hyde Park in London, Central Park New York. All naturally occurring and maintained without any human intervention whatsoever...

Anyway, back to topic, the support and welfare of one of our colleagues (in case you'd all forgotten) who right now might just need it.

Still better off to be home on Australian soil, where the family is safe, rather then in the sandpit, where businessmen and Journos have a habit of disappearing, for paltry reasons. You might be broke, but at least you are free, and if it means going back to the bottom of the woodpile, so be it. Us 89ers survived it, so will you blokes.

Yes and Sheik Makmuppet's additional political bribes, vice, human rights abuse, the weekly killings of third world slaves off partially built highrises and....and....where on earth does one stop. :{:eek:

Aymen!

"Green space" in Dubai = a dab of lipstick on a pig.

Hey Don - I thought Kev the Rev and his brother Fish both proved that one years ago!!!:O

Back to the FO. Very important he's taken care of.
In Dubai, an Emirati can run a red light and crash into a foreigner and be cleared of all wrongdoing.
The same can and potentially will happen in this instance. Emirati Captain and foreign FO. I can just see them sprouting something like 'The FO failed to ..... thus the Captain tried valiantly but was unable to save the aircraft'. I sincerely hope that this isn't the case but if you look at situations such as the Sunland executives detained what was indefinitely, I have grave concerns about the independence and fairness of what may eventuate in this instance.

Of course perhaps the Captain did try valiantly, I wont hypothesise about the cause of the crash but I am concerned that justice will not be fair.
