HE and his co-pilot were ordered to resign. They were handed pre-prepared letters of resignation when they returned to Emirates headquarters.
Perhaps Ed et AL will clarify their 'claimed support for the crew' on this incident further.

The press talk crap at the best of times let alone when the contributor has an agenda.
We make our choices and then have to live by them, why not wait for the ATSB report then we'll know what actually happened.
When I did that take-off in Melbourne I had slept 3 1/2 hours in 24 hours
I certainly respect the fact that we are all humans and screw up every now and then but in my company every pilot (even if it's a 4-man crew) looks at the load sheet and the RTOW print out and if someone's own calculation is out by 200kg or so he/she is encouraged speak up...(and even if it's the Second Officer)

I can not believe you guys
I cannot believe that grown up men like you can not accept the fact that what JakeDog said is true.
Yes we all make mistakes on line on a regular basis, but they are addressed in a multi crew flight deck.
These morons were too busy bicthing about every thing iso doing their job.
Thats the case with most of you guys here, but please grow up and accept the fact that the crew did not just make a mistake, they ****** it up big time.
So grow up and do not support people just because they are one of us and not the management.
