Etihad, hmm, OK sounds worth a go. Any aviation insurance guys here, who might know what their safety record is like?

I appreciate the irony of asking that question in this current thread, but I do like to know ;)

don't tell me you are bashing our airline too LOL


Bashing Emirates? Hell no, in my eyes its the most classy airline in the world.

If its being bashed, it must be by the people that don't follow their own procedures.

We, or at least I, am an aviation enthusiast, so I monitor everything in this field. And Emirates happen to be based in Dubai and I guess I do believe this forum is about Dubai!!! BINGO

Wake up Kid. Were trying to follow up on an incident that potentially cuold have caused death and destruction in families across the globe. In aerospace its all about avoiding disaster instead of waiting for it to happen!

Lessons are to be learned from this incident so it can never happen again. Obviously the pilots have taken their own blame. They know they made mistakes and save their future careers by stepping aside.

Those guys have invested big money in their educations so they can't just get fired. That ruins their future career prospect as you never get a new job at a respectable airline ever again. The only option then, would be flying in Nigeria or Congo :wink:

I have flown in both of the countries you mention on the national airlines and believe me, flying on Emirates cannot be mentioned in the same breath / page / year / decade / century. I hope I make myself clear.

Sometimes I really wonder whether you are able to read an undertone of things that are being written. Please elaborate if its unclear, but that you don't do either....

I will explain myself, once again:

I'm saying that pilots just don't want to be fired by their respectable employer like Emirates. That would be futile for their future career prospects. They never would get a job at a respectable airlines like Emirates ever again. Therefore they resign and hold the honor to themselves.

If they didn't resign, they would get fired and then the only option left for those pilots is flying in countries like Nigeria or Congo (among some other African nations that are blacklisted in Europe and the US) as those pilots would only find a new job in these countries I mentioned.

I couldnt get more clear on this one. Did you understand it this time? No answer would suffice for yes, in your case. :wink:
