Emirates.....truly astonishing failures. 4 Pilots in the Cockpit and none reacted !

Some of you may have seen the press releases over the recent near catastrophic crash of a Emirates 777 at Dubai

Whilst its going to be months before hard details are released Emirates because of a notification to all subsequent flight crews already know what happened

For me whats even worse was flying at 75 feet above Dubai rooftops for what appears some period of time subsequently

Automation at its absolute worst. They were 130 KMS over rotation speed when they finally decided it might be good idea to lift off !

Has been talk of this lack of hand flying skills on Pilots forums for years.  Some airlines even forbid hand flying. "Children of the Magenta line."

Reminds me of the Asiana crash at SFO years ago. Four pilots in the cockpit, one was an instructor, and they came into too low. The landing gear clipped the seawall at the end, in this case, beginning, of the runway and the plane cartwheeled down the runway killing several people.
