"Using US Freedom of Information laws in Washington DC, we have obtained documents that lift the lid on the true extent of this critical safety issue.
Among the documents are a formal complaint to US and Australian aviation authorities and internal emails between Emirates pilots and airline executives.
... What the US documents reveal is that despite the safety concerns, the American Federal Aviation Authority has no powers to investigate Emirates, stating it is a foreign carrier.
... No other major airline flying in or out of Australia is facing this level of dissent from its pilots."
