JFK is two times daily on a A380. Pick the days carefully and you won't have a problem. IAH was great when it was two times daily, but I can't seem to get on in J anymore. I never tried west coast but my EK friends say those flights tend to be weight restricted by cargo.

recently spoke to the IAD station manager who said that the econ loads, which EK overbooks using their std overbooking profiles, doesn't work in washington because everybody shows up!!! so many upgrades to J or they send them to JFK

so watch out trying to get back to dxb

Get ready for some announcements me thinks, it's been a while and some destinations (future) need it!! Obviously consolidation is happening now, and needed, but they know what and where!!
And as a bynote- who cares who or what does it, as long as we keep getting paid, have days off to enjoy our days off, and get a bonus when we make money.
