Besides it is usually pis3 weak expats that say "we are guests" . So not the nats that started that one.

Most of the Emirati guys I have flown with are very good and have a great attitude, as said above more than I can say about some of the other expat 1st world types.

White Knight - at least you are one of the pilots who cleans the screens! (admission:when I worked EK Line Maintenance in DXB, I used to use a damp Emirates first class handtowel to clean the screens after dusting the centre console of the A310/A300 with a soft 2" brush).

Anyway, were you using the approved cleaners on the screen?

Only if there are some on board, otherwise vinegar, lemon juice, sulphuric acid etc seems to work quite well
I find if you open a yoghurt at altitude pointing it towards the screen, it provides a nice anti-reflective coating once smeared-in to stop that glare on the approach.

Yoghurt is the sort of cultured approach I'd expect from a pilot.

Bus, I remember your sign off's. Didn't you study Egyptology before you became a laxiyonics( sorry avionics) engineer?

Hmm, I recognise rightstuff as a right dud...
