Thanks for all the Info chaps. Ive bee reading your replies with great interest and two things are evident. 1. policy is only policy and things can change at a stroke of a pen. ie Emirates can decide to recruite 100 Direct Entry Commands tomorow if they choose to, whose to stop them?(No regulating agreement remember) 2. Emirates will expand of that I have no doubt but I seriously question 200 aircraft. What does Dubai and the UAE have that Hong Kong and Singapore dont. Cathay has 75 a/c and Singapore 100 a/c.
At the end of the day economics will rule, if Emirates cant support 200 aircraft then they wont get 200 aircraft, no matter what the Sheikh wants or says.
