Nowhere in my initial post did I mention any kind of favourtism for EK that both ANSA and Ali alluded to. What I did suggest was to reduce the number of smaller operators at peak times by introducing slots; this leaves the Majors all operating aircraft with similar performance (one would assume making ATC's job somewhat easier) during these periods (only really 2300-0100 and 0430-0630 for arrivals). Looks like some common ground after all.
