Hey spydee,
My so called self admitted "naivety" on these matters is by no means a substitute for common sense.
My argument was based on the EBB-NBO route. However, if you have to involve the ADD-NBO route, is it fair to say that KQ is guilty of the same protectionism that ET has on the ADD-NBO route?
ET CEO in a recent interview reiterated that KQ had on numerous occasions argued that if ET plowed the NBO-EBB route, prices would go down and they (KQ) can not let that happen.
Competition is the name of the game and as nature has it, if you are at the bottom of the food chain, then tough luck. However, as the world goes around, so will everything on it. And by the way, ET has 10 frequenicies per week to NBO and not 14 as you mentioned earlier.
Fly safe fellas!
