Looks like your wish came true. But it's not nice to wish that on another crew member without proper investigation. Fear culture is never a good idea even though I wouldn't expect anything different from Emirates
I don't wish anything bad on any fellow professional, and I wasn't there, no idea what actually transpired and so I won't judge them until I read the report. With that said, and admitting that I've never been to DXB or flown on EK, I don't understand how any 773 PF could keep it on the ground while passing through 200+ KIAS, regardless of the automation or lack thereof. These guys appear to have rotated at the same Vr speed as the Concorde. Bizarro...
