Very cool thread indeed.

The saddest potential part of this story is... if it had been an Emirates Aircraft doing the same thing, the flight crew would have been called into the chief pilots office during the precious few days off they get during their 95 hour a month roster crossing so many time zones, it spins your head... both crew would have received a Final Warning letter which means one more F*ck up and you're fired and also means no annual bonus because they disrupted the integrity of the schedule!

Can't you just feel the love at Emirates Airline... aka "Slave Ship Airways".
