EK 407 Pilot speaks out
 

Emirates pilot in tail strike near-disaster tells his story | Herald Sun

Interesting article form the guys on EK 407 would seem that AS has been caught out again !!!!

Now there must be over 2000 of us who have recently attended 'conferences' that heard that they 'OFFERED' their resignations.

Perhaps Ed et AL will clarify their 'claimed support for the crew' on this incident further.

I think that support, or lack of it, is now pretty obvious. A nice touch to get all pilots to a meeting to be "personally" lied to..

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.

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)

Jakedogs post was found to be a complete windup, and deleted gents. Sorry was away working :cool:

EGGW

Jakedog must be very proud of himself because he is PERFECT all of the time every day. What a joke. Must be fun to fly with old man.

Jakedog, I see you never make mistakes..............d00s:ugh:

Always amusing when a so-called professional cannot even spell the word.

Jakedog , I'm hoping booze was involved, if not what planet you from mate

"THE pilot at the controls of an Emirates jet that almost crashed at Melbourne Airport has revealed how he saved 275 lives."....
:suspect::confused::suspect::confused:
....when the tabloids become investigation board...
....and the mistake becomes an heroic act....:ugh:

Jeeez JakeDog , I hope you are a training Captain so we can all learn from your guaranteed ability to never ever make any error at all. It cetainly will be great to never be under scrutiny. Wow I am so happy EK have you . At least it seems possible for EK to achieve the standard they desire. Excellence !!! , I am so impressed with you.

fourgolds - you sure he actually works for EK? :hmm:

"As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, or sciolists*, to elicit certain reactions."

No need to be a training captain just follow sop's. Or wasn't that the prime factor for the cause of the incident?

Heroic act and apologists?
 

Jeez...luckily it was a European skygod....from Mt Olympus? Had it been an African, Turk, Asian or Inuit.....you bigots will be coming down on him/her like a ton of smelly doo doo.

That guy and his f/o screwed up big time; let the damn thing take it rightful course!

Did he really say so !? Is this true ??

Trader - there was no 'mechanical failure' up until the tail got smacked 3 times.......

Gotcha - note to self, read the post thoroughly:ok:

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.

I have to agree with you ekbemused - not just a mistake made...
