"Merica bashing is a long time favourite over here...trying to drag us down to their own level...it's ok...most of their flags fly today because American blood was shed to defend/return their country to them from invaders...and they know it..
And yes, the state of the education system in the USA is appalling...when one sees the calibre of people running it, it's understandable...

Thread drift is one thing but when some 'savant' launches an attack on one nation without mentioning their own - it deserves attention.
The only statistic that anyone really cares about is:
US % of global GDP is 25.3%
US % of global population 4.52%
Back to the brand - Emma has is right, unless careful subject to a big fall.

How's that "brand" lookin' today at DXB boys? Looks more like the wheels have fallen off due a bit of fog. Doesn't exactly bode well for the looming single runway ops when every single IROP becomes a cluster-f.

Donīt think a late forecast fog situation can be compared to long time planned reduction in capacity.
Itīs how you handle these situation that makes or breaks the brand
If Dubai hadn't saved a buck when they built the runways too close together to allow true dual runway operations maybe there would have been no diversions, more than 4 departures an hour, no 90 minute holding, no holding at the FIR boundary, no 4 hour waits on the apron, no waiting on the ground at outstations, no 10s of thousands of people in the wrong place.
And it'll be the same tomorrow.

Who really cares what it bodes?
Claim some overtime if you go over the threshold. See if they pay you or find some excuse not to. Then go home to your cold beer and forget them for a few days.
Interestingly that time of year also coincides with flu season. What rotten luck!
PS.... Merikans: harden up, princesses, you sound like a bunch of whining pussies! Is it because you lost, scoreless, to the Great White North yesterday?

Olympics? Hockey? Nobody in America cares, well maybe every four years. We are tied for the lead in the medal count with Russia as of today, how is your country doing? I know things like figure skating, skiing, and curling are taking the U.S. by storm. More highlights of Lebron and watching Jack Nicholson on the floor of the Laker games staring at dancers. Congrats to the Knucks, they take their hockey seriously, and should have won. Back to Emirates..

...but why cannot the southern be used for departures in LVP?
It is slightly less of an issue on the RWY30s in good weather as their respective thresholds are further apart. This is why RWYs 30L & 30R are used 90% of the time, they can get more movements per hour because they are less restricted with simultaneous T/Os and LDGs using 30 than 12.

The Canadians have to celebrate something. They certainly can't celebrate their airline salaries.
Won't it be ironic that with all the crap that the Americans get at emirates it will be the 'mericans that get EK pilots a pay raise this year. Not what wide body pilots deserve but better than wages we are getting now.
Nuff said.
