Seeing as over 500 have viewed this thread but no replies i will add a little back ground to the question.

Recently the CEO of QF had a very public slanging match (pissing competition) with his SQ counterpart.
The repercussions involved SQ taking their handling contract to another operator subsequently many jobs in engineering, check in, baggage and catering have been lost Australia wide due to these over inflated egos....

During the exchange of words between the two CEOs. The QF suggested they would pull out of Singapore all together and hub through another city and this point was reiterated at the speech in Beijing when QF returned recently.

Is the QF CEO still sabre rattling because if EK have a half dozen flights a day to the tiny island of Singapore there must be good business in it and QF can't afford to pull out…….

or

EK is using SIN as a hub which seems odd as Dubai is advertised as a place you can fly from to any other point on the globe.

EK. People...Is Singapore a hub or a final destination?

I know this may be a trivial question/point for EK employee’s and has little or no bearing on them but has ramifications for QF….
