Except EK has 142 A380's. Not so easy compared to 12. That is a lot of crew, and a lot of metal. They will feel a lot of pain - but they'll be fine. No ME government will ever allow their national carrier to collapse. Never going to happen.
Ha! So you think Virgin will be alright yet qantas is about to start VRs? Interesting.
