Emirates emergency landing in JNB

[lead zeppelin]

Thanks, WK

By the way, are the changes in training Airbus initiated or internally?

Back to the top:-

Any concrete news on whether the crew are back on line or not ?

Still suspended,on full pay, from flying duties until the report of the investigation is published from the South African CAA. As far as i'm aware,one,if not both pilots are working in depts within Emirates.

This incident with the EK guys reminds me of an incident which a friend of mine had many years ago when flying for the old BOAC. On landing in Nairobi in a 747 classic in extremely wet weather and in poor vis conditions, the managed to slip off the runway with full pax on board doing severe damage to the aircraft. He was suspended with full pay while an investigation and subsequent hearing in to the incident took place. Once the reasons for the incident were resolved, they went back to their jobs about 6 months later. It may be similar for the EK guys?? I suppose it all depends on airline policy and the outcome of the investigations...we’ll have to wait and see.

It will be interesting to see, but this certainly isn't BOAC....
