You, clearly, have never flown EK. I have six flights in EK first class under my belt. I've taken showers on their airplanes. I've enjoyed $1,500 bottles of 1964 port wine and cognac poured generously. I've eaten caviar and socialized at the onboard lounge.
Believe me, EK is nothing like a "chicken and goat airline". It's world class all the way.
- School-Cotton 5y agoThe fact that their service in first class is luxurious (which nobody is denying) doesn’t necessarily imply that their pilots are good.
- jhugo 5y agoSure, but the reference to chickens and goats in the parent comment indicates a severe lack of knowledge about Emirates, the UAE, and (I would venture a guess) perhaps most of the world outside the USA...
- anaganisk 5y agoWhat makes you think emirates doesn’t have good pilots? Do you have any source for that? Emirates is not even a budget airline, like RYAN AIR. I mean unless you are the one who trained all emirates pilots, I don’t think you should be calling them a goat airline because an incident happened. If you look deep, every airline and even Airbus had issues. >The maiden flight of A320 Air France 296: Official reports concluded that the pilots flew too low, too slow, failed to see the forest and accidentally flew into it. The captain, Michel Asseline, disputed the report and claimed an error in the fly-by-wire computer prevented him from applying thrust and pulling up. In the aftermath of the crash, there were allegations that investigators had tampered with evidence, specifically the aircraft's flight recorders ("black boxes").
