Two things. If you seriously expect an airline losing money to decide that the solution to its problems is to launch more routes (Primera springs to mind) then it is either doing so to generate more cash or its management team should be locked up with the key thrown away. STN at this point in the airline's evolution is a flight of fancy, nothing more and nothing less. Second thing is that, as I've said, there are several very clear examples to suggest why Emirates' performance cannot be taken as a given for other routes by other operators. Ask anyone at BHX and NCL.
