EK Slip N Slide!

[trimotor]

QNH1013: touch a nerve did it? Are you aware of the guidance on the topic?

Incidentally, I didn't say the F/O's were ignorant, just that many are 'ignorant of' (either unaware, or ignoring) the Boeing suggestions for correct best taxi techniques.

Glad to see cool heads have apparenltly prevailed.

To be honest BHX has to take some responsibility for this one.

Originally slated for stand 54C, BHX changed it to 41C because their own EK service hadn't left yet (predicted by anyone capable of comparing ETA and ETD times). Then, after realising that 41C was still occupied by a TOM 757 they swapped it to 55C - but didn't notify EK29 until after they had passed the turn for 55C. EK29 went off-road while attempting a u-turn to get back to 55C.

Is it any wonder there were problems. I bet a heron or a dove would have had problems turning never mind a B777.

Said it before and I'll say it again get the infrastructure sorted and stop spending on upgrades to the shops.

fatbus.....RR+additional sim is a company procedure...why doing a sim so quickly after the incident if you're fired?
Then a flight number or AD on the roster means not fired and back to work...I wish them all the best,quick psychological recovery and Happy 2011!
