Following a continuing wide ranging investigation
of a near crash of an Emirates A340 Airbus in March that has so far uncovered routine fatigue among UAE’s Emirates Airlines pilots, some of the airlines’ pilots have begun talking.
Three pilots, still employed by the airline have spoken to Australia’s Sunday Times Herald and one of them went on record to say that if the management of the airline continues the way it’s going, another crash is “highly probable”.
Emirates announced yesterday that it is deferring delivery of Boeing 777 aircraft after April 2010 expecting a further slowdown in global economic growth.
