Hmmm. Im actually quiet surprised about that EK deal as well.. I was under the impression that CX was still a better paydeal. Now, simply by a good post, I know better.
What speaks in favour of CX vs. EK is still Hong Kong vs Dubai and the basing obtion. If EK had basings, which I understand is planned, its obviously becoming a very, very attractive offer. Good news for new joiners and the industry in general.
